As Canada Research Chair in Fuel Cell Science and Technology Development, Erik Kjeang is working to enhance the longevity of devices used for electrochemical energy systems, with a primary focus on fuel cells. Such advancements will have a positive impact on the sustainability of the energy systems, reduce the cost of the technology, and accelerate their commercialization. The main research objectives are to:1) Develop in-depth knowledge of the key degradation mechanisms from root cause to failure in electrochemical devices2) Develop modeling tools for longevity predictions in electrochemical energy systems3) Demonstrate strategies for longevity enhancements in electrochemical energy systemsElectrochemical energy systems are anticipated to play a key enabling role for the impending global transformation from fossil-fuel based transportation to renewable energy based transportation that uses clean fuels like hydrogen. The fuel cell industry has the potential to become a billion dollar supply chain in Canada and capture a significant part of the global automotive fuel cell market. Moreover, their increased market penetration will substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, which will translate to significant economic and environmental benefits for Canada.

作为加拿大燃料电池科学和技术发展研究主席，Erik Kjeang正在努力提高用于电化学能源系统的设备的寿命，主要关注燃料电池。这些进步将对能源系统的可持续性产生积极影响，降低技术成本，并加速其商业化。 主要研究目标是：1）深入了解电化学设备从根本原因到故障的关键退化机制2）开发电化学能源系统寿命预测的建模工具3）演示电化学能源系统寿命增强的策略电化学能源系统预计将在即将到来的全球转型中发挥关键作用，从化石燃料为基础的运输到使用清洁燃料如氢的可再生能源为基础的运输。 燃料电池行业有潜力成为加拿大价值10亿美元的供应链，并占据全球汽车燃料电池市场的重要部分。此外，它们的市场渗透率增加将大大减少温室气体排放和污染，这将为加拿大带来重大的经济和环境效益。
