In the Fuel Cell Laboratory at National Chung Cheng University, we develop key components for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), water electrolyzers, and all-vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and measure their performance. Recently, our research focuses on the durability of electrochemical systems.

Facilities in our lab including: (1) an ultra-sonic spraying system, coating catalyst ink on the membrane or gas diffusion layer; (2) fuel cell test stations, measuring the performance and durability of PEMFCs; (3) battery testers, measuring the charge-discharge curves of VRFBs.
