Joule article highlights the need for Advent’s
next-generation fuel cell technology to increase payload space,
fast fueling and adequate fuel storage for long-range applications
by relying on liquid hydrogen carriers
Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADN) (“Advent”)
today announced that an article co-authored by a group including
Dr. Emory De Castro, Advent Technologies’ Chief Technology Officer,
has been published in Joule, A Cell Press journal. The article
presents the group’s perspective on near-, mid-, and long-term
targets for proton conductors of heavy-duty fuel cells.
In addition to De Castro, the article was led by Craig S.
Gittleman, Global Fuel Cell Business at General Motors, and
included Hongfei Jia, Material Research Department at Toyota
Research Institute of North America, Calum Chisholm, SAFCell, and
Yu Seung Kim, Research Scientist at Los Alamos National
Laboratory.
The article is titled “Proton Conductors for Heavy-Duty Vehicle
Fuel Cells” and can be found in full at Joule 5, 1–18, July 21,
2021. The summary of the article can be found below:
Fuel cells utilize the chemical energy of
liquid or gaseous fuels to generate electricity. As fuel cells
extend their territory to include heavy-duty vehicles, new demands
for proton conductors, a critical component of fuel cells, have
emerged. A near-term need is ensuring the chemical and mechanical
stability of proton exchange membranes to enable long lifetime
vehicles. In the mid-term, achieving stable conductivity of proton
conductors under hot (>100°C) and dynamic fuel cell operating
conditions is desirable. In the long term, targeting high thermal
stability and tolerance to water enables the utilization of high
energy density liquid fuels that will increase payload space for
heavy-duty vehicles.
“We are thrilled that our article was approved for submission in
Joule,” commented De Castro. “The article highlights the need for
Advent’s fuel cell technology due to our high-temperature proton
exchange membrane (“HT-PEM”) fuel cells that leads to fulfilling
our flexible ‘Any Fuel. Anywhere.’ option. Through the adoption of
liquid fuel hydrogen carriers, Advent’s technology will bridge the
gap in the timeline for developing a hydrogen infrastructure while
offering fast fueling, increased payload space and adequate fuel
storage for long-range applications in the automotive, maritime,
aviation and power generation sectors.”
