Important topics to be addressed include: * Factors Affecting Durability & Performance * Electrocatalysts - The Platinum Issue * Testing, Protocols, Balance of Plant * Beyond PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) A standard for secure e-mail on the Internet. It supports encryption, digital signatures and digital certificates as well as both private and public key methods. Not widely used, work on PEM later evolved into S/MIME. See MIME. * Membranes and MEAs Key Topics Covered: FACTORS AFFECTING FUEL CELL DURABILITY AND PERFORMANCE * DOE Fuel Cell R&D Activities: Transportation, Stationary, and Portable Power Applications * FCV FCV feline calicivirus. Development at Nissan - Current Status and Future Perspective * Volkswagen's High Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (HT-PEM-FC) * Material Trade-Off Analysis for Performance vs. Durability, and Impacts on System Design * Degradation of Gas Diffusion Media * An Inside Look at Degradation Pathways at a Polymer Electrolyte-Electrode Interface ELECTROCATALYSTS. THE PLATINUM ISSUE * In situ In place. When something is "in situ," it is in its original location. X-Ray Absorption and Scattering Studies of Cathode Electrocatalyst Degradation * The Stability of Platinum and Carbon in PEMFC PEMFC Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Electrodes: Insight Obtained by Applying Electrochemical electrochemical /elec·tro·chem·i·cal/ (-kem´i-k'l) pertaining to interaction or interconversion of chemical and electrical energies. e·lec·tro·chem·i·cal adj. Methods * Nano Electrocatalysts Design and Synthesis to Minimize Pt Use TESTING, PROTOCOLS, BALANCE OF PLANT * MEA MEA Multiple endocrine adenomatosis. See Multiple endocrine neoplasia. Durability Test System (MEADS) * Performance and Durability of an Open Flowfield Architecture Fuel Cell * Fuel Cell Balance of Plant Reliability Test Bed BEYOND PEM * Ovonic o·von·ic adj. Of or relating to a device whose operation is based on the Ovshinsky effect. [Ov(shinsky effect) + (electr)onic.] Metal Hydride Fuel Cell Metal hydride fuel cells are a subclass of alkaline fuel cells that are currently in the research and development phase. A notable feature is their ability to chemically bond and store hydrogen within the cell. (MHFC MHFC Mt.
