PATHFNDR - WP 3

Our mission is to advance the scientific and technological understanding of electrochemical energy storage and conversion specifically in the context of a sustainable energy system, in which renewable energy is required to be stored. Our research on devices like polymer electrolyte fuel cells and electrolyzers, hence, ranges from cell level up to system level of 100kW.
