To build a modern-day electrical grid with the flexibility and resilience to handle ebbing and flowing energy sources like solar and wind power, West Virginia University engineers have designed and successfully tested a fuel cell that can switch between storing or making electricity and also generate hydrogen from water.
Unlike similar technologies, the fuel cell can withstand the heat and steam generated when running on an industrial scale for long periods at high power. Additionally, it addresses the three big problems with existing designs for a potentially valuable energy technology called a “protonic ceramic electrochemical cell.”
