Improved Round Trip Efficiency for Air Independent Regenerative Fuel Cell Systems

Abstract

The purpose of this effort is to investigate advanced membrane materials that enable higher efficiency electrolysis, substantially improving the practical energy density for regenerative fuel cell applications. Additionally, exercisable options in this project will advance the understanding, implementation, and operational testing of the features that enable an RFC to simultaneously be truly air independent and have high energy density.
