Development of Protonic Reversible Fuel Cells
Project Description
Reversible fuel cells are novel reversible electrochemical devices that can function efficiently as fuel cells for electricity generation and electrolyzers mode for hydrogen production. In this project, the student will develop button-cell-type fuel cells and test their performance.
