Proposta di ricerca

 
Within the project the activity will be addressed to the development and characterisation of composite membranes based on sulphonated perfluorinated polymers containing ceramic oxides, such as yttria doped zirconia with different molar ratios, silica in form of MCM-41, SBA-15 and various forms of alluminosilicate for PEFC applications in the operative conditions of high cell temperature (Tcell>100°C) and low relative humidification levels (RH

Obiettivi della ricerca

This project envisages design and customization of Nafion based composite membranes for elevated temperature and low humidity fuel cell application, establishing new types of catalyst support for enhancement of catalytic activity towards oxygen reduction reaction. The investigation revolves around configuring above mentioned functional materials with superior performance and better durability than the state of art components to evolve an effective polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC).
