Tests lead to doubling of fuel cell life

Researchers working to improve durability in fuel cell powered buses have discovered links between electrode degradation processes and bus membrane durability. The team is quantifying the effects of electrode degradation stressors in the operating cycle of the bus on the membrane lifetime.The findings of the study are the latest in a long-term study at Burnaby-based Ballard Power Systems funded by Automotive Partnership Canada aiming to make fuel cell buses competitive with diesel hybrids.
