Reversible Fuel Cell Energy Storage System
Status: Completed
Start Date: 2019-08-19
End Date: 2020-02-18
Description: In this project, pH Matter will develop a highly integrated reversible fuel cell system. The system will store energy in the form of hydrogen and oxygen. The system will generate energy by operating as a fuel cell, converting hydrogen and oxygen to water and electricity. The system will have minimal moving parts, and high round-trip efficiency. Additionally, the technology could be useful for generating hydrogen and oxygen from available water (i.e. in situ resource utilization) or generating oxygen for life support.
Benefits: Lunar surface energy storage, mars surface energy storage, space mission energy storage, life support, and in situ resource utilization.
Long-term renewable energy storage and hydrogen generation.
