The benefits of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells

PEMFC technology combines the best of electric and traditional vehicles. Emissions-free and efficient, PEMFCs offer the range and refueling speed of conventional engines, making them ideal for larger vehicles. As adoption grows, particularly in commercial sectors, PEMFCs are poised to play a critical role in reducing emissions across various transport modes, including trucks, boats, and even trains.

The longevity challenge in fuel cell vehicle

For commercial vehicles to operate reliably over 20,000 hours, PEMFC systems must withstand harsh conditions like heat, water & water/glycol exposure, and acidic environments. Without the right materials, these challenges can degrade fuel cell performance, shorten their lifespan, and compromise the efficiency of FCVs.

Xytron™ PPS: A material solution for durability

Envalior’s Xytron™ PPS is specifically designed to address the challenges of PEMFC durability. By integrating Xytron PPS into fuel cell systems, manufacturers can significantly improve the performance and longevity of FCVs.

Key Benefits of Xytron™ PPS:

• Low ion leaching: Maintains performance at temperatures even up to 120°C, extending fuel cell lifespan.
• Wet environment stability: Retains strength and toughness even in full water immersion conditions.
• Mechanical fatigue and creep resistance: Ensures long-lasting reliability under mechanical stress.
• Strong welding strength: Offers exceptional durability before and after exposure to heat and moisture.

By incorporating Xytron PPS, manufacturers can reduce the risk of failure in PEMFC systems, enhancing vehicle efficiency and reliability.

Cleaner transportation for a sustainable future

On average, a commercial truck produces 223 tons of CO2 annually. By replacing diesel-powered trucks with PEMFC systems, emissions can be drastically reduced, creating a cleaner, more sustainable transport sector. With applications expanding to boats, buses, and trains, PEMFC technology offers a path to decarbonizing transportation across industries.
