The quest to maximize electric vehicle efficiency — in driving and charging — and to lower the risk of fires has engineers at automakers and elsewhere looking at everything under the hood, including ...

Rubidium could be the next key player in oxide-ion conductors. Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo have discovered a rare rubidium (Rb)-containing oxide-ion conductor, Rb 5 BiMo 4 O 16, with ...

Solid acid fuel cells harness proton conduction through crystalline acid salts, most notably cesium dihydrogen phosphate (CsH₂PO₄) and related compounds, at intermediate temperatures (150–300 °C).

Examples of practical fuel cells include fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and fuel cell combined heat and power (CHP) systems. The best-known PEM is a membrane based on a perfluorosulfonic acid polymer, such ...

Adding just 0.6 wt% of sulfonated covalent organic nanosheets to a Nafion membrane improved methanol fuel cell performance by 44%. A phosphoric acid-based gel membrane reinforced with covalent organic ...
