Breakthrough Material Makes Pathway to Hydrogen Use for Fuel Cells Under Hot, Dry Conditions

A collaborative research team, including Los Alamos National Laboratory, University of Stuttgart (Germany), University of New Mexico, and Sandia National Laboratories, has developed a proton conductor for fuel cells based on polystyrene phosphonic acids that maintain high protonic conductivity up to 200 Celsius without water. They describe the material advance in a paper published this week in Nature Materials.
