Quality Control of Novel Hydrocarbon-based Membrane Electrode Assemblies for Fuel Cells
DirectStack2Scale

Simulated Pt particle size distribution in primary carbon pores: 50 hours of aging results in losses of small particles, larger average particle size, and higher Pt content in large pores.
The “DirectStack2Scale” project is developing technologies for the quality control of PFAS-free membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for heavy-duty applications. The models developed by Fraunhofer ISE simulate the influence of the new hydrocarbon-based materials on the performance and ageing of MEAs under realistic operating conditions - and make complex and cost-intensive long-term measurements obsolete. | Duration: 01/2024 - 12/2026
