Electroless Plating of Palladium and Palladium Alloy Membranes

摘要

Cost, Durability, Size, weight, thermal and water management are major challenges to the commercialization of fuel cell technology in commercial and military applications. Many manufacturing issues need to be solved in order to bring fuel cells to the mass market for naval applications. Manufacturing and acquisition costs can be reduced significantly by reducing or eliminating the use of precious metal catalysts, such as platinum and rare earth metals, to reform fuels.
