High cost becomes resistance

In recent years, the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles has become the focus of attention in the industry. However, there are still many problems to be solved whether it can be truly implemented and applied on a large scale, one of which is the high cost. The purchase cost of a hydrogen fuel cell bus is more than twice that of a petrol vehicle and a pure electric vehicle. Cost is the key to determining whether hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles can develop comprehensively and rapidly. The real reason for its high cost is that the core technology and key component technology in the industry chain have not yet broken through, and the degree of external dependence is high; the infrastructure construction is insufficient; and the standards and regulations are not perfect.

There are many reasons for the high cost of the whole vehicle, and all links in the industrial chain such as raw materials, parts and infrastructure are involved. From a technical point of view, the following main reasons are summarized:

One is that key raw materials and parts depend on imports.
The second is the high manufacturing cost of the whole vehicle.
The third is the backward technology of hydrogen production.
The fourth is hydrogen storage, transportation, and hydrogen refueling infrastructure. There are also problems of insufficient technology and high cost. These all increase the cost of using hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles and are not conducive to scale promotion.
Fifth, the regulation of policies and standards also has an indirect impact on costs. For example, China’s current policy lists hydrogen as a dangerous goods for road transportation, and the transportation volume is strictly controlled. At this stage, there is basically no economy at all.

Fuel Cell Catalyst Coatings

Fuel Cell Catalyst Coating A fuel cell works much like an electric battery, converting chemical energy into electrical energy using the movement of charged hydrogen ions across an electrolyte membrane to generate current. There they recombine with oxygen to produce water – a fuel cell’s only emission, alongside hot air. Although less efficient than electric batteries, today’s fuel cells compare favourably with internal combustion engine technology, which converts fuel into kinetic energy at roughly 25 per cent efficiency. A fuel cell, by contrast, can mix hydrogen with air to produce electricity at up to 60 per cent efficiency. Fuel cell catalyst coating systems are particularly suitable for these challenging applications by creating highly uniform, repeatable and durable coatings. From R&D to production, our anti-clogging technology can better control coating properties, significantly reduce material usage, and reduce maintenance and downtime. Ultrasonic spraying of other metal al...

The heart of fuel cells-membrane electrodes

The heart of fuel cells-membrane electrodes Ordered membrane electrode is undoubtedly the main direction of the next generation of membrane electrode preparation technology. While reducing the platinum group element load, the following 5 aspects need to be further considered: 1) Ordered membrane electrode is very sensitive to impurities; 2 ) Broaden the operating range of membrane electrodes through material optimization, characterization, and modeling; 3) Introduce fast proton conductor nanostructures in the catalytic layer; 4) Low-cost mass production process development; 5) In-depth research on membrane electrode proton exchange membranes, electricity The interaction and synergy between the catalyst and the gas diffusion layer.
