17th Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Symposium
Abstract
The 17th 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. Through five days, the symposium brought together the international community working on fuel cells and electrolyser science and technology, facilitating exchange of information and effective interactions between research and engineering communities. The symposium was organized into 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 Polymer-electrolyte electrolysis. Approximately 290 oral presentations and 70 poster presentations were made at the PEFC17 symposium. The second day was dedicated to a plenary session with lectures delivered by keynote speakers while the remainder of the conference consisted of 4 days of presentations. Funding was used for travel and registration fee waivers for a limited number of highest quality students and post-docs giving oral presentations and having prepared a paper for the proceedings published in Electrochemical Society Transactions, as well as to student poster awards.
