Researchers at Chalmers University have developed a groundbreaking method to study fuel cell aging, revealing that disassembly for observation does not harm cell performance, contrary to previous beliefs.
By examining fuel cells at the nanoscale, the team discovered specific degradation patterns in cathode electrodes during usage cycles, offering new insights into enhancing longevity and efficiency.
This study signifies a major improvement over earlier research techniques, allowing for a more accurate understanding of the fuel cells' degradation mechanisms in real operational conditions.
Björn Wickman emphasized the importance of their findings, stating that the assumption of damaging cell performance through disassembly was proven incorrect, showcasing a new approach for improving fuel cells.
