WORKPLACE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
We are a center for renewable energy (RE EN) focused on innovation, research, development, and application of renewable energy technologies.
WHAT ARE WE DEALING WITH?
- Developing new, cost-effective, and practical solutions for ecological energy sources
- Design and development of renewable energy solutions for industrial applications
- Perform analysis and testing for fuel cell components
- We also provide consulting service
renewable energy Centre offer
- Development of fuel cell components - bipolar plates, a new class of catalyst materials and supports, gas diffusion layers, polymer membranes (ionomers) for various types of fuel cells (e.g. H2-air, dimethyl ether-air)
- Fuel cell diagnostics and testing - accelerated stress tests, performance tests, degradation studies, component testing, and in-situ analysis
- Modeling and experimental validation of water, heat transport in single and multiple fuel cell assembly
- Development of a CO-tolerant catalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cell anodes
- Analysis of electrical properties, water uptake, surface properties - impedance spectra, sorption isotherm, specific surface area (BET)
- Advanced materials analysis - microscopy, spectroscopy, thermal analysis
Design and development of software for controlling fuel cell operation
CURRENT SELECTED PROJECTS - RE EN
Advanced Graphene Electrode Architecture for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell - TA ČR DELTA - projekt č. TM05000013
The project aims at the development of a lightweight PEM fuel cell that can efficiently generate power at low temperatures.
