A University of Wollongong project has been awarded a $565,193 grant to develop a new manufacturing process for a component in hydrogen fuel cells.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week the Australian Research Council awarded the UoW\u2019s Distinguished Professor Zheng Jiang and Dr Hui Wu funding for the project through the Linkage Project Scheme Round 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The three-year project will see them work with industry partners Baosteel and SNS Unicorp on a new austenitic stainless steel bipolar plate for hydrogen fuel cells. <\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

These plates are described in a statement from the university as conventionally made of steel or graphite and helping to manage the flow of electrical charges to the fuel cell.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project focusses on development of \u201ca green, efficient, and cost-effective manufacturing process\u201d for the bipolar plates, aiming to solve enduring issues in traditional materials, such as brittleness, cost, and corrosion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe project will lead to a breakthrough in steelmaking by significantly reducing industrial pollution and operation costs and enhancing the overall performance of Hydrogen Fuel Cells,\u201d said Jiang in a statement on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

\u201cResearch like this, undertaken with industry partners, will be essential in developing clean energy in Australia and helping to achieve the goal of cutting carbon emissions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
