The requested Fuel Cell Test Station from NSERC-RTI is to support the applicant's new laboratory for fuel cell catalyst and membrane research. The requested infrastructure is CRITICAL for complete implementation of the research in the applicant's Discovery Grant. The requested high temperature PEM fuel cell test station, will allow the applicant to check the performance and durability of the advanced nanocatalysts and nanocomposite membrane based membrane electrode assembly (MEA) at low and high temperature. The applicant has set up the catalyst synthesis system, the rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) system, and the MEA fabrication equipment, and presently the high temperature PEM fuel cell test system is the bottle neck preventing advancement of the research program. The requested system will be used full time by the applicant and his students. The training of HQP is the fundamental purpose of university research, and is therefore one of the key aspects of the applicant's scientific program. The HQPs will receive extensive training in nanocatalyst synthesis, membrane fabrication, electrochemical and physical characterization, MEA fabrication and fuel cell testing. The outcome of Dr. Chen's research program is expected to contribute to the commercialization of the PEM fuel cells and the training of HQP for Canada. The applicant was appointed as an assistant professor at Waterloo in September 2008 and he received his first NSERC-individual Discovery Grant in 2009.

NSERC-RTI要求的燃料电池测试站是为了支持申请人的燃料电池催化剂和膜研究新实验室。所要求的基础设施对于申请人发现补助金中研究的完整实施至关重要。所要求的高温PEM燃料电池测试站将允许申请人在低温和高温下检查先进的纳米催化剂和基于纳米复合膜的膜电极组件（MEA）的性能和耐久性。申请人已经建立了催化剂合成系统、旋转环盘电极（RRDE）系统和MEA制造设备，目前高温PEM燃料电池测试系统是阻碍研究计划进展的瓶颈。所要求的系统将由申请人及其学生全职使用。HQP的培训是大学研究的根本目的，因此是申请人科学计划的关键方面之一。HQP将接受纳米催化剂合成，膜制造，电化学和物理表征，MEA制造和燃料电池测试方面的广泛培训。陈博士的研究计划的成果预计将有助于PEM燃料电池的商业化和加拿大HQP的培训。申请人于2008年9月被任命为滑铁卢大学的助理教授，并于2009年获得了他的第一个NSERC个人发现补助金。
