Abstract
Fuel cells and hydrogen generators are important electrochemical energy
conversion devices for future energy technology.Fuel cells convert pure
hydrogen or other hydrogen rich fuel into DC electricity.In a hydrogen
generator, the reaction is reversed and water is electrochemically split into
hydrogen and oxygen.During the last decade, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM)
based components have played a key role in both fuel cell and hydrogen
generator development.The major conversion loss in a PEM fuel cell takes place
on the oxygen reduction cathode and in a PEM hydrogen generator on the oxygen
evolution anode.Molecular modeling has been combined with experimental work
in order to optimize nanostructured catalysts for both types of electrodes.
