3D flow fields for enhanced mass transport in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells

For the remainder of Eric’s PhD studies, he plans to explore the impacts of gravity on liquid water accumulation and performance degradation in low-temperature hydrogen fuel cells. He will also characterize the potential of porous flow fields with tailored microstructures and surface treatments on liquid water management in fuel cells via CT imaging. Eric’s research goals are to contribute to the global adoption of hydrogen technologies to improve renewable energy storage infrastructure and reliability.

Enhancing Mass Transport in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Electrolyzer for Effective Hydrogen production

Alexandre is a postdoctoral fellow at UofT in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. He holds a Master’s degree and Ph.D degree in Mechanical Engineering from Jeonju University, South Korea. In 2022, he was awarded postdoctoral fellowship by Climate Positive Energy to conduct research on improving mass transport in polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyzer for clean hydrogen production.

Climate Positive Energy has integrated into the Lawson Climate Institute.

Integration of the Climate Positive Energy Initiative (CPE) into the Lawson Climate Institute (LCI) represents a strategic evolution that amplifies University of Toronto’s collective impact on climate solutions. CPE's established expertise in sustainable energy research and innovation becomes a cornerstone of the Lawson Climate Institute's comprehensive mandate to address the climate crisis through technology, policy, and education.

Existing and ongoing grants, research projects, partnerships, and other activity under Climate Positive Energy will continue uninterrupted and will transition to operate under the Lawson Climate Institute brand in the coming months.
