Fuel cells are clean and highly efficient (> 90%) power generation devices that convert fuels directly into electrical energy. However, to improve durability and lower cost, we will develop several novel approaches to better utilize and stabilize costly catalytic nanoparticles and their support materials. We will also seek to make fuel cell materials more resistant to coke and sulphur poisoning, develop a deeper mechanistic understanding of these processes, and will modify fuel cell material composition and design for enhanced CO2 capture. We will also optimize a highly promising, biocompatible, implantable glucose sensor (for diabetics) under development.

燃料电池是一种清洁高效的发电设备，可将燃料直接转化为电能。然而，为了提高耐久性和降低成本，我们将开发几种新方法来更好地利用和稳定昂贵的催化纳米颗粒及其支撑材料。我们还将寻求使燃料电池材料更耐焦炭和硫中毒，对这些过程进行更深入的机械理解，并将修改燃料电池材料的组成和设计，以增强二氧化碳捕获。我们还将优化一种非常有前途的、生物相容性的、可植入的葡萄糖传感器（用于糖尿病患者）。
