Bipolar-interface fuel cells – an underestimated membrane electrode assembly concept for PGM-free ORR catalysts
Dominik Seeberger, David McLaughlin, Pascal Hauenstein, Simon Thiele
Abstract
We present the first combination of a bipolar interface fuel cell with a commercial Fe–N/C catalyst as an alkaline cathode and a PGM-based, acidic anode, both separated by a proton exchange membrane (PEM).
