Flexible Polymer Could Lead to Portable Fuel Cells
Dec-02-16
A new, flexible polymer able to store hydrogen gas could lead to portable fuel cells that can be safely carried in a pocket.Developed by a team from Waseda University, the polymer sheet is made using the ketone polymer, which can fix hydrogen in water at room temperature via electrolytic hydrogenation. The hydrogen can then be released when heated with an aqueous iridium catalyst. According to the team, the conditions required to fix and release the hydrogen are comparatively mild, and can be carried out with significant damage to the polymer.

Independently acting robots on seclusions need an automated powering system. On sunny areas it could be a solar cell station. Empty batteries are changed to loaded ones, so robots need not necessarily to wait loading. Robots could also change the battery among each other, if a colleague gets empty on field. On cold areas this fuel cell would work better. This would be a light and rather safe system to be used even on dry areas.
