Project type: Infrastructure
Research Goal: Create the infrastructure (physical works and equipment) suitable for the development of fuel cells with optimized design, as well as materials that promote greater performance, such as better ionic conductors and catalysts that promote the preferential oxidation of ethanol. This infrastructure will allow the design of a direct ethanol SOFC optimized for mobility applications.
