. . . . . .Advancing the sustainability of fuel cell systems In Horizon Europe project MEAsureD, the development of high-temperature ion-pair fuel systems is assisted by supporting development activities on sustainability. These activities address a comprehensive environmental and economic assessment and include several approaches to improve the circularity of the PEM fuel cell system. The work steps are: The […]
Read MoreMEAsureD project (Advanced MEAs ensuring high efficiency HDV), funded by the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking under the European Union’s Horizon Europe program, is working to bring next-generation hydrogen fuel cell technology closer to real-world deployment. At its core, the project aims to develop advanced Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs) based on high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel […]
Read MoreHT-PEM fuel cell performance is critically dependent on the full utilization of the cell active area of each single cell within the entire stack arrangement. The cell performance itself is governed by the local availability of hydrogen and air transported from the gas supply channels across the GDL towards the catalyst layers on the anode […]
Read MoreDevelopment of Ion-Pair Membranes for HT-PEM Fuel Cell Fuel cells are a pivotal technology that convert hydrogen into electricity, heat, and water steam. The conventional low-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (LT-PEMFC) operate within a very narrow temperature range of 70°C to 90°C, which limits this technology for practical applications. In contrast, high-temperature proton exchange […]
Read MoreWe are pleased to highlight a new scientific publication authored by Vladimir Atanasov from the University of Stuttgart, developed within the framework of the MEAsured Horizon Europe project. The study introduces a new membrane material for high‑temperature fuel cells, made by modifying an existing polymer and blending it with another to improve its strength. This […]
Read MoreAmong the winners of the 2025 Young Scientist Award, we are thrilled to celebrate Marcos López Juárez from Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Spain, recognized for his outstanding work in hydrogen usages. Marcos’ research explores innovative applications of hydrogen that can accelerate the transition to clean energy and decarbonization. His work stands out for its […]
Read MoreThis month, we celebrate Merit Bodner, Assistant Professor at Technische Universität Graz, whose career path proves that success doesn’t always follow a straight line. After completing her PhD at Graz University of Technology, she ventured into industry before returning to academia—driven by curiosity and a passion for fundamental research. Her achievements include the prestigious Hydrogen […]
Read MoreAt the Eco Mobility Conference, Heiko Hirschmann from Graz University of Technology presented his abstract: “Electrolyte durability in HT-PEMFCs under HDV operating conditions.” Heavy-duty vehicles account for nearly 27% of road transport greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, making decarbonization critical. High-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) offer a promising solution, but their long-term […]
Read MoreAt the 248th Electrochemical Society Meeting, Florian Tritscher from Graz University of Technology presented his abstract titled: “Real-world accelerated stress test protocol for high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells based on heavy-duty vehicle operation.” This abstact addresses a critical gap in hydrogen technology: the lack of standardized accelerated stress tests (ASTs) for high-temperature PEM fuel […]
Read MoreAn Efficient control over molecular weights of the catalyst binder (PWN) was achieved by using RAFT polymerization technique and radical transfer agent. The reduction of molecular weight of the binder stand for better processability by the catalyst ink preparation and increased the efficiency of the phosphonation reaction by the synthesis of PWN from 46 up […]
