In this episode of The Zero Emission Zone, we explore how the synergy between crystalline carbon nano-onions and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coatings is enhancing the durability of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). With the challenges of frequent start-ups, shutdowns, and fuel starvation in mind, this breakthrough could extend the life and efficiency of fuel cells. Join us as we dive into the science behind these innovative materials and how they could revolutionize energy systems for heavy-duty vehicles and other applications.
