- This paper presents the world record anion-exchange membrane fuel cell (AEMFC) performance at the time of publication with development of a thin, non-fluorinated low-density polyethylene-based radiation-grafted anion-exchange membrane. This paper also showed that a high peak power performance could be achieved with a non-precious-metal iron-cobalt-based electrocatalyst (previous publications reported more than 1 Watt per square centimetre AEMFC performance with non-platinum electrocatalysts but these AEMFCs still contained a precious-metal, silver, that will not be supply sustainable in the short-medium term). The paper highlights that the durability challenge with non-precious metal catalysts still needs to be addressed.
