Oxygen Ions for Fuel Cells Get Loose at Low(er) Temperatures

摘要

A research team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the Univ. of Liverpool, has uncovered a novel structure that moves oxygen ions through the cell at substantially lower temperatures than previously thought possible. The finding may be key to solving fuel cell reliability issues and may lead to reduced operating costs in high-performance stationary fuel cells.
