- Federal contractNASA · Electrochem Proposes A Phase II Program To Advance Its Phase I Effort, To Develop A Conductive Water Removal Membrane To Enable Passive, High Current Density Pemfc Operation. Very Good Progress Was Demonstrated By The Two Approaches Investigated: 1) Construct A Carbon-based Composite, Higher Bubble Point Membrane; 2) Convert A Polymer-based Water Removal Membrane To A Conductive Membrane (both Approaches To Meet The Cwrm Primary Requirements Of Conductivity, Water Permeation, And "no Gas Leakage$600K
- Federal contractNASA · Electrochem Proposes To Develop Oxidation Resistant, Electrically Conductive, Hydrophilic Coatings In Pem Fuel Cells And In Pem Electrolyzers. The Use Of Hydrophilic Coatings Can Improve The Transport Of The Water Within The Cells Resulting In Higher Electrochemical Performance. However, The Successful Development Of Oxidation Resistant Hydrophilic Coatings Will Be The Key Requirement Due To The Fuel Cell And Electrolyzer Oxidation Environment. Oxidation Resistant Coatings Will Be Developed On M$100K
- Federal contractNASA · Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Water Electrolysis Units Are Currently Designed To Require Active Water Flow And Phase Separation, Or Are Based On A Passive Vapor Transport Mechanism That Inherently Limits Performance Due To Mass-transport Limitations. Electrochem Has Developed And Successfully Demonstrated A Passive Water Transport Integrated Flow Field Concept (its Iff Structure) That Controls The Flow Of Water Through Each Cell, In A Highly Reliable, Performance Enhancing, And Gravity Independen$100K
- Federal contractNASA · Too Much Water, Resulting In Flooding, Or Too Little Water, Resulting In Electrolyte Dryout, Have Both Had Negative Impact Upon Fuel Cell Performance. Electrochem Proposes An SBIR Research Project To Develop A Conductive Water Removal Membrane (cwrm) For Pem Fuel Cells Operating At Higher Current Densities In A Passive Mode. The Membrane Will 1) Be Wettable; 2) Allow Water To Penetrate Easily; 3) Not Permit Gas To Leak Through; 4) Be Electrically Conductive. Electrochem Proposes Two Approaches F$100K
