Fuel Cells continue to receive considerable attention as clean, highly efficient devices for the production of both electricity and, for some applications, high grade waste heat. However, considerable technical challenges remain for fuel cell to achieve greater penetration into commercial markets. It is worth emphasising the shift in research landscape within which the Supergen fuel cell consortium is operating. As fuel cell technology continues to mature, the fuel cell research community is being asked to place increasing emphasis on improving its fundamental understanding of materials behaviour under realistic operating conditions and duty cycles, especially where this relates to failure modes, and materials/cell degradation. Thus the work programme of this second phase will very much focus on generic and fundamental research, targeted onto real problems identified in discussion with our industry partners. This means that during this second phase, it will remain the case that the Supergen consortium will put an emphasis on knowledge transfer to industry, though of course patents will be filed where appropriate. It is then largely the responsibility of the industry partners to exploit this knowledge in the context of their own technology programmeThe proposed second phase of the Supergen fuel cell consortium refreshes the membership, with three new academics; Kucernak (Imperial), Brett (UCL) and Elliott (Cambridge) and with four academic teams continuing; Brandon (Imperial), Scott (Newcastle), Atkinson (Imperial) and Irvine (St Andrews). All three industry partners remain within the consortium for its second phase; Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems, Ceres Power and Johnson Matthey, with the addition of a fourth new industry partner, Intelligent Energy. This new team maintains the consortium strength in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, whilst adding significant extra capacity in Polymer Fuel Cells within both the industry and academic teams. This provides a shift in emphasis within the consortium to developing an improved understanding of failure modes and performance limitations within current fuel cell devices, and the need for greater scientific understanding to tackle these failure modes. In addition the consortium will continue to deliver its training courses in fuel cell science and engineering to consortium staff and students, external researchers to the consortium and to appropriate Doctoral Training Centres and to disseminate the work of the consortium (through publication and conference presentation, including an annual open conference) and to extend its international collaboration.

燃料电池作为清洁、高效的装置继续受到相当大的关注，用于产生电力和对于某些应用而言的高品位废热。然而，燃料电池要更大程度地渗透到商业市场，仍然存在相当大的技术挑战。值得强调的是，Supergen燃料电池联盟正在运作的研究格局发生了变化。随着燃料电池技术的不断成熟，燃料电池研究界越来越重视提高其对材料在实际操作条件和占空比下行为的基本理解，特别是在与故障模式和材料/电池退化有关的情况下。因此，第二阶段的工作方案将主要侧重于一般性和基础性研究，针对与我们的工业伙伴讨论中确定的真实的问题。这意味着，在第二阶段，Supergen财团将继续强调向工业界转移知识，当然，专利将在适当的情况下提交。然后，在他们自己的技术计划中利用这些知识在很大程度上是行业合作伙伴的责任。（帝国），布雷特（伦敦大学学院）和埃利奥特（剑桥）和四个学术团队继续;布兰登（帝国），斯科特（纽卡斯尔），阿特金森（帝国）和欧文（圣安德鲁斯）。所有三个行业合作伙伴仍然在财团的第二阶段;罗尔斯罗伊斯燃料电池系统，谷神星电力和约翰逊万丰，增加了第四个新的行业合作伙伴，智能能源。这个新团队保持了固体氧化物燃料电池联盟的实力，同时在行业和学术团队中增加了聚合物燃料电池的显着额外容量。这提供了一个联盟内的重点转移，以提高对当前燃料电池设备内故障模式和性能限制的理解，以及需要更好的科学理解来解决这些故障模式。此外，联合体将继续向联合体工作人员和学生、联合体外部研究人员和适当的博士培训中心提供燃料电池科学和工程方面的培训课程，并传播联合体的工作（通过出版物和会议介绍，包括年度公开会议），并扩大其国际合作。
