Research Field
Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis Research
- Investigation of porous transport layers (PTL)
- Development and optimization of microporous layers (MPL), a tailored cell component between PTL and anode.
- Analysis of the interplay between PTL and adjacent electrolysis cell components (i.e. membrane electrode assembly and flow field).
