Dr. Hui has worked on various projects, including chemical sensors, solid oxide fuel cells, magnetic materials, gas separation membranes, nanostruc-tured materials, thin film fabrication, and protective coatings for metals. He has more than 80 research publications, one worldwide patent, and one U.S. patent (pending). He is currently leading and involved in several projects for the development of metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), ceramic nanomaterials as catalyst supports for high-temperature PEM fuel cells, protective ceramic coatings on metallic substrates, ceramic electrode materials for batteries, and ceramic proton conductors. Dr. Hui is also an active member of the Electrochemical Society and the American Ceramic Society.

Numerous works have reported the decrease of hydrated Nafion conductivity at high temperature. Thus, Rikukawa and Sanui [325] observed a maximum in the conductivity of Nafion 115 around 80 °C, and a sudden drop at temperatures above 100 °C. Aric6 et al. [315] also observed a maximum conductivity around 120 °C, as shown in Fig. 6.20, for recast Nafion membranes. This behavior is the consequence of membrane dehydration at temperatures above 100 °C, which limits the use of Nafion in high temperature PEM fuel cells.
