GreenCentre Canada funds UOIT research into 'greener' fuel cell material

29-Oct-2010 - Canada

A researcher's discovery of an inexpensive new material for potential use in hydrogen fuel cells at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) has been awarded $18,000 in additional development funding by GreenCentre Canada.

The material, discovered by Dr. Brad Easton, Assistant Professor of Chemistry in UOIT's Faculty of Science, shows promise as a more cost-effective, greener alternative to the materials currently used in a fuel cell's Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM). This membrane is a crucial component in the fuel cell's power system.
