General Motors LLC (GM) would utilize DOE and cost share funding to generate a state-of-the-art membrane electrode assembly (MEA) materials that meet the DOE 2020 MEA cost and performance targets and map the impact of operating conditions on dutrability in implementable automotive conditions. The project would include MEA material development combined with accelerated stress testing, material characterization testing, performance and durability testing, and model development and validation. Project activities would occur at a GM facility in MIchigan, Giner Inc. (Giner) facility in Massachusetts, and a laboratory facility at the University of Texas in Austin (UT-Austin). Giner will perform fabrication and testing of mEAs and UT-Austin will perform microscopy work.
