Projects
Canadian and German PEM fuel cell cooperation (PEM-Ca-D)
Project description
The aim of this project to combine theoretic and experimental approaches to create a positive step change in the state of knowledge on transport processes within the catalyst layer. The main subject is to investigate the two-phase liquid/gas transport within the complex layer morphology combined with the electrochemical reaction. A particular key aspect is the international cooperation with Canadian fuel cell research partners.
