With the growing urgency to decarbonize energy systems, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have gained prominence as a clean power source. A critical barrier to their widespread adoption, however, lies in the cost and durability of bipolar plates (BPPs), essential components often reliant on expensive noble metals. In a recent study, we explored the … Continue reading Metal-carbon interfaces for future hydrogen-energy systems

Aluminium + Diamond-Like Carbon for Next-Gen Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Our latest study just dropped as a preprint on the SSRN server: Is Nitrogen Doping of Diamond-Like Carbon Films a Viable Strategy for Bipolar Plates in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells? 💡 In this work, we challenge the idea that nitrogen doping improves Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings. Using a combination of electrochemical testing, electron microscopy, … Continue reading Aluminium + Diamond-Like Carbon for Next-Gen Hydrogen Fuel Cells
