题目： Fuel Cells, Energy Storage, and Solar Hydrogen: Toward a Safe, Clean, and Sustainable Energy Future
摘要：
Fuel cells coupled with solar hydrogen represent a safe, clean and sustainable energy system that can help significantly alleviate or eliminate the energy supply and CO2 problem. For our fuel cell efforts, we have been focusing on developing catalyst and membrane materials that will help to solve the cost and durability problems, the two most significant commercialization barriers for fuel cells. In this presentation, I will mostly focus on our recent work on hydroxide exchange membrane (HEMs). HEMs, when used in fuel cells (HEMFCs), allow the platinum catalysts to be replaced by non-platinum-group-metals such as nickel and silver while the expensive fluorinated Nafion membrane substituted by a hydrocarbon membrane, thus drastically reducing the cost of fuel cells and making them potentially economically viable. HEMs can also be used in electrolyzers or flow batteries for large scale solar/wind electricity storage and for solar hydrogen generation.
