In the “BI-FIT”project (Break-In for Fuel Cells Initializing and Testing), Fraunhofer ISE is investigating and optimizing the break-in process, i.e. the initial operation of the fuel cell. To this end, a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved is being obtained through scientific, robust analyses and research, and new break-in concepts are being developed so that the duration of the break-in can be reduced to a maximum of 60 minutes. The project is integrated into the “HyFab” project network, which is intended to create a knowledge base for the automotive and supplier industry in order to facilitate research into fuel cell production technologies. | Duration: 08/2022 - 07/2025
