The University of North Florida proposes to use Department of Energy and cost share funding to examine and implement improvements in performance, durability, manufacturability, and cost to the PolyFuel membrane electrode assemblies. The propsoed work includes optimizing membranes through post-processing, examining alternate membrane chemistries and composite membrane strategies, and improving membrane electrode stability and performance.
