The National Science Foundation awarded $275,000 under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships federal grant program to FC Renew, LLC to develop a renewable platinum catalyst for fuel cell applications. The 12-month project grant aims to establish proof-of-concept for an in-stack electrocatalyst renewal approach that enables reuse of once end-of-life fuel cells. By renewing the platinum electrocatalyst without removing it from the vehicle, the technology has potential to significantly...

The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) awarded a $1,570,309 cooperative agreement to Carnegie Mellon University on May 2, 2022 with a projected completion date of July 31, 2025. The award will support development of ionomer-free electrodes for ultrahigh power density proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Specifically, the university aims to create a mixed conducting cathode support that eliminates the separate ionomer phase currently used in...
