Scaling Sustainable Chemistry for an Industrial Transformation Forum and Roundtable

This report resulted from the event, "Scaling Sustainable Chemistry for an Industrial Transformation Forum and Roundtable," held in August 2024.

Three specific areas were addressed in the event and are summarized in the report: 

1. Scaling Technologies: The development of new chemicals and processes is a fundamental task that has critical challenges for scaling. 

Highlights of Accelerated Degradation Mechanisms for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), considered green devices, use hydrogen and oxygen as reactants in electrochemical processes to produce electricity, water, and heat as by-products. The use of this technology in the automotive industry and power generation has led to a detailed study of its operating principle to make it cost-effective. Polymer electrolyte fuel cells as innovative technology has promoted research to improve its performance.
