In this electrifying episode of The Zero Emission Zone, we’re cracking the code to supercharge Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) with a surprising twist—short-side-chain ionomers! Discover how these tiny molecular chains are making huge waves in the world of clean energy by boosting catalyst performance and squeezing out every last bit of efficiency. We’ll break down the science behind the magic, explain how platinum surfaces and ionomers interact, and reveal why this innovation could be a game-changer for the future of green power. Join us for a fun, energetic deep dive into the science that’s fueling tomorrow!
