Innovative autoMotive MEa Development ? implementation of Iphe-genie Achievements Targeted at Excellence
Annotation in Czech
The prime focus of IMMEDIATE is to develop high performing MEAs aimed for automotive applications through material R&D & process optimisation. The technical targets aimed in IMMEDIATE are addressing the JTI targets for automotive MEAs with respect to performance & cost. The proposed project is a continuation of the recently terminated and very successful FP6 R&D-project: IPHE-GENIE. The IMMEDIATE project approach is based on utilisation and further improvement of the materials and processes. Thus, the approach and the technical IMMEDIATE targets are as follows: -Development of a membrane with -A proton conductivity of at least 0.1 S/cm at 120?C & 25% RH -Thermal stability up to 160?C -Low dimensional changes (<10%, wet/dry) -Development of MEAs that show high performance [1 W/cm2 @ UCell=0.68V (hEl=55%)] at low Platinum loadings [ 0.15g Pt/kW] through: -Catalyst development and design -Ionomer and membrane optimisation -Electrode design -GDL optimisation -Process optimisation -Testing of the developedMEAs on single cell and on small stacks level at realistic automotive operating conditions i.e. T=120?C, RH 25%, P=1.5bar, yet being able to start from -20°C -Application of automotive AST protocols to make a 5,000 h?s lifetime probable It is consideredthat especially the combination of these targets is both challenging and a significant step forward.
