The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Vanderbilt University (Vanderbilt) to design, fabricate, characterize, and evaluate nanofiber mat cathodes for incorporation into membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), for the purpose of improving the current power and durability capabilities of traditional cathodes. The cathodes would be fabricated by electro-spinning catalyst powders with a proton conducting binder. The project would be divided into two Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
