Johnson-Matthey (JM) has invested heavily in Hydrogen Technologies e.g., in the area of Fuel Cellsand Green Hydrogen. This project will aim to provide fundamental understanding of the complexinteractions between critical polymers, solvent and active particles that are used in fuel cells and greenhydrogen formulations. A typical formulation can be composed of active precious metal supportedcarbon and/or metal oxide particles, solvent-types (aqueous and non-aqueous) in the presence ofconducting polymers (polyelectrolytes), as well as non-ionic types. Polymers also exhibit rheologymodifying properties and, in the case of associative polymers, act as structuring agents when theyadsorb onto the particle surface. Advancing the fundamental understanding of polymer behaviour insuch systems and their interactions with the other formulation components is expected to be criticalfor the successful development of next-generation formulations and directly applicable to coatingprocesses and the performance of the application e.g., fuel cell.

Johnson-Matthey（JM）在燃料细胞和绿色氢的区域中大量投资了氢技术。该项目将旨在提供对燃料电池和绿水分配方中的关键聚合物，溶剂和活性颗粒之间的复杂间隔的基本理解。典型的配方可以由有源贵金属载体和/或金属氧化物颗粒，溶剂类型（水性和非水性）组成，并在存在导电聚合物（聚电解质）以及非离子类型的情况下。聚合物还表现出流变模化的特性，并且在关联聚合物的情况下，当它们吸收到粒子表面时，它们充当结构。促进对聚合物行为INSUCH系统及其与其他配方组件的相互作用的基本理解，对于成功开发了下一代配方至关重要，直接适用于涂层和应用程序的性能，例如燃料电池。
