There are a few distinct structural concepts for high-performance Pt alloy ORR electrocatalysts that are currently attracting much attention because they hold the promise of significant activity improvements compared to pure Pt catalysts. As a result of this, these electrocatalysts potentially offer the prospect to impact the future of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cell catalyst technology. 

Abstract. The constructive and technological features of silicon electrodes of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) are discussed. Electrodes are made with application of modem technologies of integrated circuits, and technologies of macroporous silicon. Also ways of realization of additional functionalities of electrodes to offered constructive - technological performance are considered.

In last few years there has been considerable amount of activity in using ink-jet technology for printing different components of a fuel cell particularly those for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The various components reported to have been printed using ink-jet are as follows ... 

Polymeric functional materials are of central importance for the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and DMFC technologies in particular. In addition to the expected cost reduction due to low-cost mass productimi, for example of polymeric bipolar plates (see Sect. 2.1), the polymeric membranes are irreplaceable in the PFMFC and DMFC technologies.
