DOE Grant Focuses on Next-generation
Anion Exchange Membranes
Low cost, durable, commercially viable polymer-based anion-exchange membranes, a critical component in fuel cells and other energy-conversion devices, are the focus of a $2.3M grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to an industry, government, university collaboration including Penn State.
Michael Hickner, associate professor of materials science and engineering, chemical engineering, and chemistry, is the Penn State co-principal investigator on the project.
