In this episode of The Zero Emission Zone, we dive into innovative strategies for improving Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) performance by mitigating reversible performance losses. Learn how researchers are using air starvation techniques to restore platinum activity at the cathode and boost cell voltage. We’ll explore how these recovery phases are being optimized at both single-cell and stack levels, providing insights into how short, periodic interventions can enhance fuel cell efficiency while maintaining durability. Tune in to discover how these advancements are shaping the future of clean energy systems.
