Fall 2024 Symposium: Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells and Water Electrolyzers 24 (PEFC&E24)
Abstract
The Fall 2024 Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells and Water Electrolyzers (PEFC&WE24) Symposium takes place at the 246th Meeting of The Electrochemical Society (ECS), which is part of the PRiME 2024 Meeting taking place October 6-11, 2024 in Honolulu, Hawaii. PEFC&WE24 is an international symposium of The Electrochemical Society promoting all aspects of research, development, and engineering of polymer electrolyte fuel cells and water electrolyzers for efficient hydrogen production and consumption. Progress in the field is accelerated by bringing together the international community working on these technologies and enabling effective interactions between research and engineering communities. Approximately 150 students are expected to attend, with 700 attendees total. PEFC&E24 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) Fuel cell catalysts; B) Electrolysis catalysts; C) Fuel cell and electrolyzer ionomers, membranes and separators; D) Fuel cell electrodes, membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) and diagnostics; E) Electrolyzer electrodes, MEAs and diagnostics;(F) Fuel cell and electrolyzer cells, stacks and systems; (Z) A full day plenary session on leading fuel cell and electrolyzer developments. Abstracts will be considered for other PEM- and AEM-based electrochemical devices like electrochemical hydrogen pumps, but CO2 electrochemical reduction, high-temperature (solid oxide) fuel cells and electrolysis and photochemical water splitting, are covered by other symposia.PEFC&WE24 supports student and postdoctoral participation and encourages the development of new and talented researchers in the field. We expect that approximately 12 Student/Postdoc Travel Grants will be awarded for PEFC&WE24 to encourage broad participation of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows new to the topic research areas. There is a student poster contest with prizes for posters with the best technical and visual quality, as selected by a technicalpanel at the conference. This symposium s proceedings will be published in ECS Transactions, the official conference proceedings publication of The Electrochemical Society, and available at the meeting.
