Impacting climate change by reducing fossil fuel use is an imperative international goal. A novel and promising solution is possible through the commercialization of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The goal of Dr. Shahgaldi¿s research program is to develop low cost, high performance and durable PEM fuel cells from lignin-based carbon nanofibers (LCNFs), and develop the associated catalyst deposition, ink formulation, design and fabrication of catalyst layers and scaled up membrane electrode assembly (MEA), the core component of fuel cells. The outcome of this research will disrupt the fuel cell field by providing a green solution to durability and performance.

通过减少化石燃料的使用来影响气候变化是一个紧迫的国际目标。通过聚合物电解质膜（PEM）燃料电池的商业化，一种新颖且有前途的解决方案是可能的。Shahgaldi博士的目标是的研究计划是开发低成本，高性能和耐用的质子交换膜燃料电池从木质素基碳纳米纤维（LCNFs），并开发相关的催化剂沉积，油墨配方，设计和制造的催化剂层和放大膜电极组件（MEA），燃料电池的核心部件。这项研究的结果将通过提供一种绿色解决方案来破坏燃料电池领域的耐久性和性能。
