Research Summary

A Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is a type of fuel cell that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction. It operates on the principle of electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen at the anode and reduction of oxygen at the cathode, separated by a proton-conducting membrane. In a PEMFC, the membrane is typically made of a solid polymer electrolyte, such as a perfluorosulfonic acid membrane. The electrolyte allows protons to move through it while blocking electrons, facilitating the generation of electric current. PEMFCs are known for their high efficiency, quick start-up, and relatively low operating temperatures, making them suitable for various applications, including transportation (such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles), portable electronics, and stationary power generation. The technology has gained attention for its potential to provide clean and efficient energy, with water and heat being the main byproducts of the electrochemical reaction.
