A graphene layer can significantly reduce the permeability of a fuel cell membrane without affecting the proton conductivity too much. ZBT and AMO have worked out how this can be done in the joint PROTONLY project.

Cleaning hydrogen: ZBT investigates new process

Laboratory for determining hydrogen quality Hy-Lab at the ZBT
Fuel cell-based mobility requires clean hydrogen. Within the NRW project Hy-Cleanup, ZBT together with Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung is investigating new materials for removal of impurities from hydrogen.

Big chunk: New hot press for ZBT

ZBT has taken delivery of a new hot press. It can be used to investigate and optimize the production of graphite-based bipolar plates. ZBT scientists believe that there is still a lot of undiscovered potential in this process.

FC_Bio project launched: Making fuel cells more sustainable

Graphics of a fuel cell stack
Producing “organic” fuel cells: Which petroleum-based materials can be replaced by renewable raw materials? ZBT is working with partner institutes on innovative materials that will make fuel cells even more sustainable.

Project result: Portable PEM fuel cell hybrid system with 3D printed casing

Functional model of the portable PEM hybrid fuel cell system
How can the advantages of a power bank and a fuel cell be combined in a portable system? Researchers at the ZBT have developed such a system.
