Table of Content
CHAPTER 1
MEA Development for Automotive
Applications
Kev Adjemian, PhD, Manager, Fuel Cell Laboratory,
and Akihiro Iiyama, PhD, Expert Leader, Nissan
Motor Co., Ltd.
Since the inception of the fuel cell program at Nissan Motor Company, great developmental strides have been made in both component and system optimization. This work has resulted in Nissan Motor Company providing the first fuel cell vehicle for commercial taxi service in Japan. Nevertheless, further improvements to the durability and performance of the MEA are required for mass-commercialization. This is being carried out by first understanding the underlying mechanisms followed by formulating effective counter-measures and new materials. Using this approach, major advancements towards fuel cell commercialization are being realized.

CHAPTER 2
On-Road Experiences with FC
Degradation from FCV Learning
Demonstration
Jennifer Kurtz, Senior Engineer, National Renewable
Energy Laboratory
After the first two years of DOE’s fuel cell vehicle Learning Demonstration project, NREL has amassed a significant amount of on-road fuel cell vehicle performance information. This data has been analyzed to determine fuel cell voltage degradation, and whether there are any detectable dominant factors affecting the degradation rates. NREL will present the latest public results on this topic from their analysis.
