The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Vanderbilt University (Penn Vanderbilt) to design, fabricate and a novel, highly conductive, non-perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) fuel cell membrane enabling operation at low relative humidity. Both a membrane and a proton-conducting ionomer would be synthesized as part of the proposed project. Membrane electrode assemblies would be fabricated with selected membrane samples and tested in an H2/air fuel cell.
