这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目旨在通过一系列实验室实验更好地了解与氢/氯再生燃料电池系统相关的基本技术，并将是产品开发道路上的第一步，从而创造出氢气产生、能量储存和新型大气管理产品。该项目将进行涉及实验室细胞的研究，以收集参数数据，以帮助对与这些重要应用相关的系统进行建模。一支合格的团队将解决之前研究中确定的关键技术限制；包括提高氢电极在停机期间的耐用性，通过新颖的双极板设计消除寄生分流电流，以及通过流场优化优化卤素电极的质量传输。这项技术的更广泛的影响/商业潜力将是高效的氢气生产、能源储存和二氧化碳封存。通过这项技术的开发可以解决的产品应用的多样性非常大。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project seeks to better understand the fundamental technologies relating to the hydrogen/chlorine regenerative fuel cell system through a series of laboratory experiments, and will be the first step along a product development pathway leading to the creation of hydrogen generation, energy storage, and novel atmospheric management products. The project will conduct research involving laboratory cells to collect parametric data to assist in modeling the system as it relates to these important applications. A well qualified team will address key technical limitations identified in previous research; including enhancing hydrogen electrode durability during shutdown periods, elimination of parasitic shunt currents through novel bipolar plate designs, and optimization of mass transport at the halogen electrode through flow field optimization. The broader impact/commercial potential from this technology will be efficient hydrogen production, energy storage and carbon dioxide sequestration. The diversity of product applications that can be addressed through the development of this technology is very large.
