The goal of this Korea-UK research initiative is to address Research theme 1 (Innovative concepts from Electrodes to stack) of the EPSRC-KETEP Call for Collaborative Research with Korea on Fuel Cell Technologies. The proposal also covers some aspects of Research theme 2 (Predictive control for performance and degradation mitigation). Hence, this research is associated with improving the lifetime and performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Within this project we will develop new corrosion resistant catalyst supports and catalyse those supports utilising a new catalysis technique. We will also examine the development of porous bipolar plates and see how we can integrate those bipolar plates and catalysts within a fuel cell. We will trial the materials in test stacks and look at the performance and longevity of these new materials. Parallel to this work, we will use state of the art x-ray tomography and other imaging techniques to assess the performance of the materials under real operating conditions. Information from these tests will allow us to develop a methodological framework to simulate the performance of the fuel cells. This framework will then be used to build more efficient control strategies for our higher performance fuel cell systems.We will also build a strong and long-lasting collaborative framework between Korea and the UK for both academic research and commercial trade. The project will benefit from the complementary strengths of the Korean and UK PEFC programmes, and represents a significant international activity in fuel cell research that includes a focus on the challenging issues of cost reduction and performance enhancement. The project will have particularly high impact and added value due to a strong personnel exchange programme with researchers spending several months in each other's labs; highly relevant industrial collaboration; and links with the H2FC Supergen. We have strong support from industrial companies in both the UK and Korea who will support our goals of developing new catalysts for fuel cells (Amalyst - UK, and RTX Corporation - Korea), new corrosion resistant porous bipolar plates (NPL-UK; Hyundai Hysco and Hankook tire (Korea)), and fuel cell and system integrators (Arcola Energy and Intelligent Energy (UK)).

这项韩国-英国研究计划的目标是解决EPSRC-KETEP呼吁与韩国合作研究燃料电池技术的研究主题1（从电极到电池堆的创新概念）。该提案还涵盖了研究主题2（性能和降低退化的预测控制）的某些方面。因此，这项研究与提高聚合物电解质燃料电池的寿命和性能有关。在这个项目中，我们将开发新的耐腐蚀催化剂载体，并利用新的催化技术催化这些载体。我们还将研究多孔双极板的发展，看看我们如何将这些双极板和催化剂集成到燃料电池中。我们将在测试堆栈中试用这些材料，并查看这些新材料的性能和寿命。与此同时，我们将使用最先进的X射线断层扫描和其他成像技术来评估材料在真实的操作条件下的性能。这些测试的信息将使我们能够开发一个方法框架来模拟燃料电池的性能。该框架将用于为我们更高性能的燃料电池系统构建更有效的控制策略。我们还将在韩国和英国之间建立一个强大而持久的学术研究和商业贸易合作框架。该项目将受益于韩国和英国PEFC计划的互补优势，并代表了燃料电池研究领域的一项重要国际活动，其中包括重点关注降低成本和提高性能的挑战性问题。该项目将具有特别高的影响力和附加值，因为研究人员将在彼此的实验室中度过几个月的强大人员交流计划;高度相关的工业合作;以及与H2 FC Supergen的联系。我们得到了英国和韩国工业公司的大力支持，他们将支持我们开发新的燃料电池催化剂（Amalyst -英国和RTX Corporation -韩国），新的耐腐蚀多孔双极板（NPL-英国;现代Hysco和韩泰轮胎（韩国））以及燃料电池和系统集成商（Arcola Energy和Intelligent Energy（英国））。
