Northwestern team develops 'MRI' for fuel cells
As gasoline prices top $3 a gallon in major cities, the drive toward increasing energy efficiency and reducing air pollution has accelerated, and the development of fuel cells has become a major focus worldwide.   view more (2006-06-19)

Chemical Could Revolutionize Polymer Fuel Cells
Heat has always been a problem for fuel cells. There's usually either too much (ceramic fuel cells) for certain portable uses, such as automobiles or electronics, or too little (polymer fuel cells) to be efficient.   view more (2005-08-25)

Car not first application for fuel cells
The car will not be the first application for fuel cells. This is one of the conclusions in the doctoral thesis of Robert van den Hoed, which he will defend on 17 May at TU Delft. "My research project confirms that large organisations such as in the automobile industry have trouble... view more (2004-05-11)

Oxford University Fuel Cell Invention Wins Innovator of the Year Award
Researchers from Oxford University's Chemistry Department have won one of the three categories in the Carbon Trust Innovation Awards with their vision for sustainable energy provision.   view more (2003-11-12)

Tiny fuel cell might replace batteries in laptop computers, portable electronics
If you're frustrated by frequently losing battery power in your laptop computer, digital camera or portable music player, then take heart: A better source of "juice" is in the works.   view more (2006-09-13)

DARESBURY REPORT SHOWS ROAD TO CLEANER TRANSPORT
Future global targets on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases may be more easily met thanks to new research on catalysts for fuel cells, published today in the new annual report from Daresbury Laboratory’s Synchrotron Radiation Department. Tough emission targets are driving the development... view more (2000-12-11)

Pellets of power designed to deliver hydrogen for tomorrow's vehicles
Hydrogen may prove to be the fuel of the future in powering the effi cient, eco-friendly fuel cell vehicles of tomorrow.   view more (2007-08-22)

Step on the gas — New fuel cell design adds control, reduces complexity
When Princeton University engineers want to increase the power output of their new fuel cell, they just give it a little more gas - hydrogen gas, to be exact.   view more (2007-01-17)

Fuel cells help make noisy, hot generators a thing of the past
Two core technologies developed at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory - a fuel desulfurization system and a fuel reforming system - were instrumental in the demonstration of an electric power system operating on JP-8, a fuel commonly used in military operations.   view more (2007-12-12)

Hydrogen storage can be improved
The storage of hydrogen in fuel cell powered cars can probably be greatly improved by increasing the working temperature of the fuel cell. With the use of magnesium powder, the storage of hydrogen can take place more efficiently and safely and at a higher temperature. This is the conclusion of Gijs... view more (2005-01-26)

Findings could improve fuel cell efficiency
A new type of membrane based on tiny iron particles appears to address one of the major limitations exhibited by current power-generating fuel cell technology.   view more (2008-03-20)

News Alert: Energy for the future - Hydrogen and Fuel Cell industry sets out its blueprint
At its second General Assembly on 17 and 18 March, the European Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform will present its proposals for the medium- and long-term development of hydrogen and fuel cells for carrying and converting energy cleanly. Europe faces the challenge of fluctuating... view more (2005-03-16)

Sweet fuel supply

Fuel cells, a neglected clean source of energy
In a situation where the UK is crying out for reliable sources of energy that do not threaten the environment, one option, the hydrogen fuel cell has been relatively neglected through insufficient support from industry and government.   view more (2006-07-24)

Two bacteria better than one in cellulose-fed fuel cell
No currently known bacteria that allow termites and cows to digest cellulose, can power a microbial fuel cell and those bacteria that can produce electrical current cannot eat cellulose.   view more (2007-07-30)

Microbial Fuel Cells: Optimization Of The Anode Compartment For Improved Electron Transfer
A microbial fuel cell mimics a biological system, in which bacteria do not directly transfer the energy-rich electrons gained out of the feeding to their characteristic electron acceptor. Instead, the electrons are diverted towards an electrode (anode) and subsequently conducted over a resistance... view more (2003-11-14)

MIT creates new material for fuel cells
MIT engineers have improved the power output of one type of fuel cell by more than 50 percent through technology that could help these environmentally friendly energy storage devices find a much broader market, particularly in portable electronics.   view more (2008-05-16)

The lung of the fuel cell
However environment-friendly fuel cells may be, like any other energy source their success on the market depends not only on their area of application but also, more particularly, on their price. A number of technological hurdles will have to be overcome before the various systems can be... view more (2003-04-04)

Fuel cells gearing up to power auto industry
The average price for all types of gasoline is holding steady around $2.95 per gallon nationwide, but the pain at the pump might be short-lived as research from the University of Houston may eliminate one of the biggest hurdles to the wide-scale production of fuel cell-powered vehicles.   view more (2007-10-31)
