Objectives, activities and expected/achieved results
Objetivos e Atividades
Project UniRCell - Unitised Regenerative Fuel Cell for Efficient Renewable Energy Supply: from Materials to Device aims to develop a new generation of environmentally sustainable, high-performance and low cost materials by demonstrating their application in a prototype URFC.

Activity #1) Innovation Supporting Actions.
Activity #2) Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of electrolytes.
Activity #3) Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of electrocatalysts.
Activity #4) Electrical and electrochemical characterization of electrolytes and electrocatalysts.
Activity #5) MEA design and fabrication.
Activity #6) Device integration and modelling.

Resultados Esperados/Atingidos
The work plan is organized in innovation supporting actions and technical activities focused on the:
-development of novel electrolytes;
-development of novel OER/ORR and HER/HOR bifunctional electrocatalysts based on;
-integration of membrane electrode assemblies through evaluation of different electrode configurations, gas diffusion layers and separator plates;
-analytical and experimental critical function/validation of the components in laboratory FC, EL and URFC prototypes.

Modelling approaches are implemented in various activities in order to gain insight on:
-atomistic features of the relationships between structure, ionic transport and electrocatalysis;
-dynamic effects of two-phase flow, heat and mass transfer on device performance optimization.
