New design for high power density fuel cells improves performance and durability
The new hydrogen fuel cell technology delivers up to 50 percent more performance than current state-of-the-art technology. And durability has been improved. Advances in trench electrode design may help optimize next-generation fuel cell technology to power zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty transportation. “Battery performance improved by redesigning the electrode structure,” says Jacob Spendelow, a materials scientist

Opportunities and challenges of electrolytic seawater
Electrolytic water hydrogen production technology is still not mature enough compared to traditional fossil energy hydrogen production technology. Now the biggest disadvantage of the whole set of mechanism of electrolytic water hydrogen production technology is the cost. However, electrolytic water hydrogen production has the advantages of simple process, no pollution and high purity of output
