Fall 2023 ECS Symposium: Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers 23 (PEFC&E23)
Abstract
The Fall 2023 Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers (PEFC&E23) Symposium takes place at the 244th Meeting of The Electrochemical Society (ECS) from October 8-12, 2023 in Gothenburg, Sweden. This international symposium is devoted to all aspects of research, development, and engineering of polymer electrolyte fuel cells and electrolyzers (PEFC&Es), as well as low-temperature direct-fuel cells using either anion or cation exchange membranes. The intention is to bring together the international community working on these technologies and enable effective interactions between research and engineering communities. Approximately 50 students are expected to attend the symposium, with a total of 300 attendees. A poster session will be held, with poster awards.PEFC&E23 will feature oral and poster presentations, plenary talks, and ample opportunities to foster scientific collaboration and network building. The symposium is structured as seven sections covering: A) Diagnostic techniques; B) Design/components for fuel cell stacks and systems; C) Ion-exchange membrane and ionomer development, performance, and durability for fuel cells and electrolyzers; D) Catalysts for acid fuel cells; E) Catalysts and membranes for alkaline and direct-fuel acid fuel cells; F) Polymer-electrolyte water electrolysis; Z) A full day plenary session on leading technologies. Abstracts are considered for other polymer-membrane-based electrochemical devices like electrochemical hydrogen pumps, but excluding CO2 electrochemical reduction and photochemical water splitting, which are covered by other symposia. This symposium s proceedings will be published in ECS Transactions, the official conference proceedingspublication of The Electrochemical Society, and available at the meeting. We request financial support for student/post-doctoral fellow meeting registration and travel grants, as these individuals are the next generation of talent aiming to work on critical PEFC&E technology.
