Objectives

Increasing he lifetime of PEMFC and SOFC cells and stacks, particularly in the operation under carbonaceous fuels (CO-containing hydrogen and biogas with many impurities, respectively).

Main research areas for SOFC:

Integration of innovative materials in cells (proton-conducting ceramics) allowing the decrease of the operating temperature
Improvements: design, barrier layers for stability
Improvements and breakthroughs in high temperature gas purification
Discovering innovative materials stable under H₂S

Main research areas for PEMFC:

Decrease of critical materials to decrease the cost of the system
Development of Innovative materials as catalysts, solid electrolyte and bipolar plates
Increase of the cell electrical performance (power density)
Increase of the durability (> 90000 hours) and reliability of the system
Design, assembling and management of the stack
