Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs), directly converting fuel into electric energy through a solid electrolyte membrane, have become one of the most promising devices in the last few years for the electrical conversion of hydrogen. A team of researchers from the Department of Energy Engineering at the University of Seville together with AICIA (Association for Research and Industrial Cooperation of Andalusia) conducted three-dimensional CFD simulations to analyze the role of water on the [...]

A team from the Department of Energy Engineering at the University of Seville has developed an experimental research focused on the design of a bio-inspired PEM fuel cell. The model they have obtained has reached a maximum power which is up to 6.0% higher than the design they took as a reference. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) are electrochemical devices that directly convert the chemical energy of fuels such as hydrogen [...]
