Next generation of improved high temperature Membrane Electrode Assembly for aviation

À propos

Hydrogen-based fuel cell systems (FCs), a cleaner alternative for aviation, have the potential to provide high energy efficiency and reduced noise emissions. In this context, the EU funded NIMPHEA project will develop a new generation of high-temperature (HT) membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for hydrogen-based FCs that can power aircraft without emitting pollutants. While low-temperature MEA has attractive power density, its thermal management issues make it incompatible with aircraft environments. On the other hand, current HT-FCs operated at around 160°C also do not meet performance requirements for aviation application. Therefore, the NIMPHEA project aims to optimise the MEA’s main components (catalyst layer, membrane, and gas diffusion layer) to achieve a power density of 1.25 W/cm² at a nominal operating temperature of 120°C.
