The last decate it is observed a shift of the global research community in the use of renewable energy and enviromental friendly technologies , concerning the issue of enviromental pollution from fossil fuels, as well as the rational use of energy. The need of producing energy with low or zero emissions and generally for reducing oil dependency, while achieving higher yields, has led to the invention of fundamentally new technologies such as Fuel Cells. The main fuel that feed Fuel Cells is hydrogen, which can be derived from renewable energy sources (water electrolysis, reforming biofuels). Based on the above, this work aims to develop fuel cell proton exchange membrane (PEM) powered "pure" hydrogen (derived from water electrolysis) to produce electricity. Finally, the present work focuses on fabrication and characterization of new materials for electrocatalysts with low or zero content of platinum.
Based on the above study object of this proposed research is the design and development of fuel cell proton exchange membrane (PEM) powered "pure" hydrogen (derived from water electrolysis) to produce electricity. Finally, the present research focuses on the proposal in the study design and both of new materials for the manufacture electrocatalysts, and in a low or zero content of platinum.
