Multiscale modelling of the PEFC cathode electrodes. The cathode electrode is responsible for the major performance loss in PEFC. Conventional models for the PEFC cathode have many limitations. The multiscale modelling of the PEFC cathode electrode unlocks these limitations and enables one to freely investigate the effects of the electrode.

Non-precious catalysts for PEFC cathode electrodes. The commonly-used platinum-based catalyst is the main cost driver of PEFC technology. Replacing it with high-performance non-precious catalysts will boost the deployment of this clean technology in the marketplace.

Characterisation of porous media. Experimentally estimating the transport coefficients of the porous media of the PEFC or hydrogen electrolyser is essential to enhance the predictions of the modelled units and design more efficient components.
