Description
Summary:Hydrogen technologies will become more prominent in the next coming years, in particular systems operating at close to ambient temperature, in the context of sustainability and renewable energies. Membrane electrode assembly (MEA) has been the most primary part of the conventional polymer electrolyte fuel cells as well as unitized regenerative fuel cells. This paper summarizes the important steps and latest developments in the preparation of the assembly such as membrane treatment, preparation of electrodes followed by hot pressing for low temperature (
