Breaking Down Fuel Cell Breakdown: Tackling Degradation
About this episode
In this episode of The Zero Emission Zone, we dive deep into the challenges of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) degradation. Discover how various factors, from chemical attacks to mechanical stress, can shorten the lifespan of fuel cells. We explore the fascinating science behind the main degradation mechanisms and discuss strategies to mitigate damage, ensuring longer-lasting, more efficient fuel cells. If you’re interested in the future of hydrogen energy, this episode breaks down the key issues holding fuel cells back—and how we can overcome them!
