- Theme 3"High-Performance Energy Materials" Supporting Powertrain Diversification
- Novel Proton-Conducting Electrolyte Material for Next-Generation Fuel Cells
- Expanding the operating temperature range of fuel cells is essential for the widespread adoption of FCEVs, yet conventional polymer electrolytes have intrinsic limitations. At DENSO, we have been investigating COF materials with regularly ordered nanopores as a potential solution. COFs are porous materials inspired by MOFs, which have attracted attention following the Nobel Prize. In this talk, I will introduce key challenges facing fuel cells and discuss the potential of COF materials to address them.
