As a potential producer and exporter of green hydrogen — a fuel that can be burned without producing greenhouse gas emissions — Chile is at the forefront of the global energy transition.
Protons are the next big thing when it comes to fuel cell technology. The subatomic exchange produces power on a scale that challenges contemporary solid-state fuel cell technology, used to help power space shuttles. To realize the proton-based technology sooner, an international team of researchers has developed a hybrid material that effectively transports protons at high temperatures and humidity — two major challenges in past attempts.
The advent and increased availability of 3D printing are leading to more customizable parts at lower costs across a spectrum of applications, from wearable smart devices to autonomous vehicles.
Now, a research team based at Tohoku University has 3D printed the first proton exchange membrane, a critical component of batteries, electrochemical capacitors, and fuel cells.
