Central News Agency (Central News Agency reporter Lin Qiaolian, Kaohsiung, 12th) The Department of Electro-Optical Engineering team at National Sun Yat-sen University has successfully developed a new technology for the core material of hydrogen fuel cells, the 'catalyst coated membrane (CCM),' which improves fuel cell power generation efficiency and reduces costs. The achievement has passed the 'Technology Verification Platform' certification and will cooperate with industry for mass production in the future. National Sun Yat-sen University stated in a press release today that Professor Huang Wen-yao's team from the Department of Electro-Optical Engineering successfully developed a new technology for the core material of hydrogen fuel cells, the 'catalyst coated membrane (CCM).' This achievement increases fuel cell power generation efficiency by approximately 16% and enhances durability. The university stated that this technology is the result of an industry-academia collaboration project between National Sun Yat-sen University and Weijie Energy Co., hoping to localize key materials that have long relied on foreign imports, establish Taiwan's hydrogen energy technology system, and enhance international competitiveness. The research team stated that in recent years, various countries have actively sought methods to replace traditional energy sources such as oil and natural gas, among which 'hydrogen fuel cells' are one of the popular options. 'Hydrogen fuel cells' generate electricity by reacting hydrogen and oxygen, and their biggest feature is that they produce almost no pollutants after power generation, with water as the only byproduct, thus being called clean energy. Huang Wen-yao stated that the catalyst coated membrane developed this time is the most important core component in fuel cells, just like the heart of the human body, responsible for smoothly converting hydrogen into electrical energy. The new material developed by the team can accelerate the chemica
