- Additional information
- This work is a collaboration between United States Department of Energy National Laboratories, universities and world-leading manufacturers of electrolysers (Nel Hydrogen/Proton Onsite: Kathy Ayers kayers@protonenergy.com) and fuel cells Ballard Power Systems: Shanna.Knights@ballard.com). We show that previously illusive round trip efficiencies and stabilities for reversible fuel cells can be achieved by careful modifications in catalyst layer manufacturing techniques. The knowledge gained from the study has led to Nel Hydrogen/Proton Onsite being awarded $1.85 million grant to explore the technology further as part of the hydrogen at scale, a flagship DoE program to generate scaled up hydrogen from available hydrogen generation technologies.
