As in the previous year, the E3C Award for the best presentation was also presented in 2023. This year, based on a vote among the approximately 80 participants at the event, the award for Day 1 went to Dr Marco Grundler, Group Manager Compound Technology at ZBT. In his keynote speech ‘Sustainable production of bipolar plates for PEM fuel cells,’ Grundler reported on these projects:
- FC_Bio Compound and Filler: IGF project (46LN) on the use of biopolymers in bipolar plates for PEM fuel cells

- Re³dOx ‘Recycling and Resource Efficiency of Redox Flow Batteries’: Recycling of Graphitic Bipolar Plates (BMWK 03ET6156F)
more
- InduREX ‘Industrialisation of a fuel cell range extender through integrative, iterative design of product design and production process’: Weight and material savings through the use of extruded, thin, graphitic bipolar foils (BMWK 03ETB017B)
Miguel A. Modestino from New York University (NYU) was awarded the prize for the best presentation on day 2.
At this year’s E3C in May 2023, international researchers from a wide range of disciplines came together to exchange ideas on the design of electrochemical reactors. The event focused on functional components such as novel materials, modifications and characterisations, as well as cell design and fluid flow. Other highlights included the design and manufacture of stacks and system concepts. Both days of the event were accompanied by graphical recording, in which the presentations were summarised and processed in graphic form.
