๐ก๐Inspired by proton pumps in living organisms, a team led by Professor Wang Bo at BIT has discovered a new mechanism for proton transport, overcoming the limitations of conventional acidic ionomers.
๐The breakthrough significantly boosts the power output of proton exchange membrane fuel cells while maintaining high hydrogen-to-electricity conversion efficiency.
The research was published in Science on Sept 10 under the title "Open framework-based Brรธnsted acidโLewis base interfaces boost proton transfer in the fuel cells." โจ
