Protons are the next big thing when it comes to fuel cell technology. The subatomic exchange produces power on a scale that challenges contemporary solid-state fuel cell technology, used to help power space shuttles. To realize the proton-based technology sooner, an international team of researchers have developed a hybrid material that effectively transports protons at high temperatures and humidity two major challenges in past attempts.
The results were published on April 19 in
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, a journal of the American Chemical Society.
