UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE: NEW REFUEL AWARD. CONTROL NUMBER 1562-1592 TITLE: ''DIRECT AMMONIA FUEL CELLS FOR TRANSPORT APPLICATIONS'' THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE, WITH RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, XERGY INC. AND BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY, WILL DEVELOP A DIRECT AMMONIA FUEL CELL (DAFC) STACK OPERATING NEAR 100 ?C THAT ADDRESSES THE CRITICAL CHALLENGES OF EFFICIENT CARBON NEUTRAL LIQUID FUEL (CNLF) CONVERSION TO ELECTRIC POWER FOR TRANSPORTATION APPLICATIONS. THE APPROACH IS TO DEVELOP ADVANCED KEY MATERIALS, INCLUDING HIGH PERFORMANCE HYDROXIDE EXCHANGE MEMBRANES (HEMS) THAT CAN OPERATE NEAR 100 ?C AND NOVEL AMMONIA OXIDATION REACTION (AOR) CATALYSTS. NEW MEMBRANE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY AND STACK TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE DEVELOPED TO ACHIEVE A HIGH STACK POWER DENSITY. ----------
