Preliminary Program subject to change
TB001 Recent Advances in Fuel Cell and Battery Technology
OverviewAbstracts may cover subjects dealing with either fundamental or applied aspects of PEMFC and DMFC in the area of electrocatalysts, membranes and MEAs, gas diffusion layers, extreme conditions, stacks and testing, cells durability and performances, and modeling. Abstracts may also be submitted on other forms of fuel cells such as solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), etc.
