ELAMAT: ELectrochemical Applications of MATerials


Synthesis and characterisation of electroactive materials and components for applications in energy, environment and biomedicine, including: Design, synthesis, preparation and characterisation of materials for electrodes and electrolytes for PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cells), AEMFC (alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cells) , SOFC (solid oxide fuel cells) y PCFC (protonic ceramic fuel cells) as well as ceramic gas-separation membranes and oxide-based electorlysers (SOEC, solid oxide electrolyser cells and PCEC, protonic ceramic electrolyser cells). Design and processing of components and membrane-electrode assemblies for these fuel cell types and their full characterisation. Bioactive materials with oxygen/nitrogen radical scavenging activity, important for material-body interaction.
