Critical Raw materials Elimination by a top-down Approach To hydrogen and Electricity generation (CREATE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Jun 30, 2020,

CREATE aims at developing innovative membrane electrode assemblies for low-temperature polymer-electrolyte fuel cell (FC) and electrolyzer (EL) with much reduced cost. This will be achieved via elimination or drastic reduction of critical raw materials in their catalysts, in particular platinum group metals (PGM).Key issues with present low-temperature FC & EL are the high contents of PGM in devic ...

Long-life PEM-FCH &CHP systems at temperatures higher than100°C (LOLIPEM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"The present proposal aims at the development of SPG&CHP systems based on Polymeric Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Hydrogen (PEMFCH). A drawback in the state-of-the-art systems is the too low operating temperatures (70-80°C) of PEMFCHs for cogeneration purposes. Operating temperatures above 100°C would have several advantages including easier warm water distribution in buildings, reduced anode poi ...

Advanced bipolar membrane processes for remediation of highly saline waste water streams (NEW ED)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"NEW ED aims at closing industrial water cycles and reducing the amount of waste water streams with highly concentrated salt loads stemming from a broad range of industrial production processes by exploiting the waste components (salts) and transforming them to valuable products. This will be achieved by developing new micro- to nano-porous bipolar membranes for bipolar electrodialysis (BPMED), a ...
