The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $137,790 Project Grant to The Washington University to develop innovative catalyst materials and electrode architectures for high-performance hydrogen fuel cells. The award, effective November 15, 2024 through December 31, 2025, aims to advance fundamental knowledge on designing sustainable and earth-abundant catalysts and integrating them into robust electrodes for hydrogen fuel cells and other electrochemical energy technologies. The key project focus is on incorporating highly active single metal site catalysts into fibrous electrodes via electrospinning to establish favorable three-phase interfaces for efficient air cathodes. The fundamental research outcomes are expected to enable significant performance and durability improvements in fuel cell technologies, directly benefiting transportation electrification and renewable energy storage applications.
