PolyFuel Overview

Edit Overview

Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) systems with their hot swappable fuel cartridges will satisfy consumer demands for longer runtimes in numerous portable devices such as laptop computers. PolyFuel's patented membrane will enable DMFC systems to be smaller, lighter, quieter, less expensive and more robust than systems made with competing membrane materials. PolyFuel also has world-class fuel cell...More»

Name:HYDROGEN MEMBRANE
Product URL:http://www.polyfuel.com/technology/hydrogen-membrane.html
Description:In October 2004, PolyFuel introduced a second breakthrough in fuel cell membrane technology that will allow automotive manufacturers to produce smaller, lighter, lower cost, more durable and more efficient automotive fuel cell engines.

PolyFuel’s new hydrocarbon membrane for hydrogen fuel cells is being tested at virtually all of the world's leading automotive fuel cell vehicle manufacturers.

With the membrane as the heart of a fuel cell, it should not be surprising that all of the critical requirements of an automotive fuel cell vehicle map directly to the requirements of a hydrogen membrane. In fact, most of the shortcomings of today’s automotive fuel cell engine are due to the inability of fluorocarbon membrane technology to meet these requirements.

PolyFuel carefully listened to the needs of automotive fuel cell system developers and engineered a breakthrough hydrogen membrane specifically for their
requirements. The results have been dramatic. First and foremost, the new membrane is based upon a hydrocarbon — rather than a fluorocarbon — polymer that is substantially less expensive. In addition the new membrane can operate more stably at lower levels of humidification, and at both higher and lower operating temperatures. Furthermore, in PolyFuel’s accelerated lifetime testing, the new PolyFuel hydrogen membrane technology has demonstrated a 35% to 50% increase in durability when compared to fluorocarbon membranes.

The net result of PolyFuel’s hydrogen membrane technology breakthrough is that automakers will be able to design fuel cell engines that will have a lower capital cost, lower operating costs, greater operating flexibility and higher overall efficiency. It’s no wonder that the world’s leading automotive companies are excited about our hydrogen membrane technology.
