What are the Challenges in Using Nanotechnology in PEMFCs?
Despite the significant benefits, there are several challenges associated with the use of nanotechnology in PEMFCs:
1. Cost: The high cost of nanomaterials like platinum remains a major barrier. 2. Scalability: Producing nanomaterials on a large scale while maintaining quality and consistency is difficult. 3. Durability: Ensuring the long-term stability of nanomaterials under operational conditions can be challenging. 4. Environmental Impact: The environmental impact of nanomaterials, particularly during disposal, needs to be thoroughly evaluated.
