Carbon Trust funding for high power density fuel cells

摘要

According to ITM Power CEO Graham Cooley, the company has received Carbon Trust grant funding of ￡108,000 towards the development of the materials for application in automotive fuel cells. "ITM Power has demonstrated exceptionally high power densities by developing its proprietary hydrocarbon membrane materials for hydrogen/oxygen fuel cells. A step change from the current state of the art has been achieved, with what is believed to be the highest power density ever recorded for a PEM fuel cell (5.5W/cm~2 and 10A/cm~2)."rnThe Carbon Trust is providing a technology development grant towards a five month project which aims to demonstrate the performance of the same family of materials in a hydrogen/ air fuel cell.
