What are the Types of Fuel Cells Improved by Nanotechnology?
Several types of fuel cells benefit from nanotechnology innovations:
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs): PEMFCs use a polymer electrolyte membrane and are commonly used in transportation applications. Nanotechnology enhances their catalytic efficiency and durability. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs): SOFCs operate at high temperatures and use a ceramic electrolyte. Nanostructured materials improve their ionic conductivity and reduce operating temperatures. Alkaline Fuel Cells (AFCs): AFCs use an alkaline electrolyte and benefit from nanoscale catalysts to enhance their performance and reduce costs.
