May 27: Live Webinar on National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Fuel Cell Contaminant Database
Webinar Sponsor: Fuel Cell Technologies Office
The Energy Department presented a live webinar titled “NREL’s Fuel Cell Contaminant Database" on Tuesday, May 27. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has led a multi-year project studying the effect of system-derived contaminants on the performance and durability of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. The team screened approximately 60 commercially available balance-of-plant (BOP) materials using multiple methods to identify and quantify system-derived contaminants. In order to make the results of this work more accessible and useful to the fuel cell community, NREL has designed an interactive material screening database. The webinar provides an overview of data obtained during the project and a tutorial on how to use the Web-based data tool to access project results.
