Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières
$120,000.00
lignin-based fuel cells
FY 2023-24
Summary
Impacting climate change by reducing fossil fuel use is an imperative international goal. A novel and promising solution is possible through the commercialization of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The goal of Dr. Shahgaldi¿s research program is to develop low cost, high performance and durable PEM fuel cells from lignin-based carbon nanofibers (LCNFs), and develop the associated catalyst deposition, ink formulation, design and fabrication of catalyst layers and scaled up membrane electrode assembly (MEA), the core component of fuel cells. The outcome of this research will disrupt the fuel cell field by providing a green solution to durability and performance.
