The University of South Carolina is offering licensing opportunities for Electrodes for Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers Containing Multiple Functional Polymers
Background:
In fuel cell and electrolyzer electrodes, it is important for ions to be transported throughout the electrode. Typically, this is accomplished with a single ionic polymer, though this can limit the ion transport and the electrochemically active area.
Invention Description:
This invention allows for efficient ion transport throughout the electrode - increasing the electrochemically active area. This allows the cell to achieve higher operating currents and higher efficiency.
Potential Applications:
Improving the performance and lifetime of fuel cells and electrolyzers.
Advantages and Benefits:
Fuel cells and Electrolyzers will be able to operate at higher currents and efficiencies.
