16th Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Symposium

Abstract

The 16th Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Symposium was devoted to all aspects of research, development, and engineering of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), as well as low-temperature direct-fuel cells using either anion or cation exchange membranes. The symposium brought together the international community working on the subject and to enable effective interactions between research and engineering communities. The symposium has six different sections covering Diagnostics/Characterization Methods, MEA Design, Model Fuel Cell Systems, Stack/BOP Design, Gas Processing, Cation-Exchange Membrane Performance & Durability, Catalyst Activity/Durability for Hydrogen(- Reformate) Acidic Fuel Cells, Materials for Alkaline Fuel Cells and Direct-Fuel Fuel Cells, and the sixth new session on Polymer-electrolyte electrolysis. Approximately 400 talks were submitted to the PEFC16 symposium. The first day consisted of keynote speakers while the remainder of the conference consisted of 4 days of presentations, which some of the funding was allocated for.
