that uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, water, and heat. It consists of a polymer electrolyte membrane that allows protons to pass through, and electrodes that catalyze the reactions of hydrogen and oxygen. PEMFCs operate at low temperatures (50 to 100 \u00b0C) and are mainly used for transport, stationary, and portable applications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Okay, so what's different?<\/strong> Using <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/materials-science\/electrospinning\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">electrospinning<\/a> technology and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/chemical-engineering\/metal-foam\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">metal foam<\/a>, the team developed a fuel cell with ultra-thin carbon nanofiber film that replaces the conventional gas diffusion layers and flow channels. This reduced the membrane electrode assembly thickness by 90% and the mass transfer losses by 80%, resulting in a fuel cell with almost twice the volumetric power density of the previous ones. The team expects that the new fuel cell stack can achieve a peak volumetric power density of 9.8 KW per liter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And why does this matter?<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/afdc.energy.gov\/fuels\/hydrogen_benefits.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Hydrogen fuel cells<\/a> provide a clean, renewable, and efficient source of energy for various applications.
