Additional information
Polymer electrolyte fuel cells are central to the use of fuel cell technology. Operating at higher temperatures offers savings in cost and potential greater efficiencies. This work demonstrated that the power performance of a high temperature polymer fuel cell based on a composite structure could match that of current polymer electrolyte fuels cells whilst offering the option of superior operation for combined heat and power. The material costs for the membrane are a fraction of that of current technology. The research was carried out through the £3.6M EPSRC Supergen Fuel Cell Consortium project (EP/G030995/1; Newcastle award £870k).
