6 6 Delivering Solutions Today Successful commercialization of Fuel Cell technology will depend on meeting functional requirements, as well as, the total cost of ownership of fuel cell systems. To meet these challenges, is driving: Innovation in Nafion Membrane and Dispersions for durability Integration of these materials in Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) Partnering with leaders to access capabilities This presentation will focus on two examples of recent advances DuPont has made in Membrane and MEA technology.
7 7 DuPont Durable Nafion Membrane Development with Improved Low RH Performance Membrane durability and performance at low RH operation, are two critical requirements, especially for transportation applications. At low RH conditions, fuel cell performance drops due to the decrease in membrane conductivity. Membrane also degrades significantly under low RH conditions, resulting in reduced performance.
8 DuPont Durable Nafion Membrane Development with Improved Low RH Performance 8 New Nafion membranes incorporate both advanced chemical stabilization technology as well as mechanical reinforcement technology. A fundamental understanding of PEM degradation mechanisms has enabled DuPont to develop proprietary technologies to enhance the chemical stability of Nafion membranes. Nafion XL-100 membrane demonstrates significant improvements beyond chemically stable NR211 membrane. Durability of Nafion XL-100 has been verified by our customers.

Optimization of ionomer, dispersion and membrane manufacturing processes is in progress to further improve low RH performance.
26 DuPont MEA Durability Improvements 26 DuPont s approach to PEMFC performance and durability targets extends beyond membrane improvements. R&D continues to improve electrode technology through catalyst and ink formulation advancements. Transportation conditions are particularly harsh because they involve load and humidity cycles that promote carbon corrosion and electrode degradation. Process development is focused on scalable continuous manufacturing.
27 Integrating Catalysis and Electrochemistry to Meet MEA Performance and Durability Requirements 27 Key Components Catalyst Carbon, surface area, acidic or basic nature, metal dispersion Ionomer Polymer structure, equivalent weight, molecular weight, rheology Solvents Key to Metal Utilization, Performance, Process Compatibility, MEA Quality Combine Component Properties to Produce Electrodes with high metal utilization, rapid kinetics, low mass transport loses and extended durability. Inks that are compatible with high throughput low cost coating processes. Robust chemistry and process Continuing greater understanding of interaction to improve catalyst utilization and reduce cost.

We plan to focus on type A to continue our durable MEA development program.
30 30 Integrating Catalysis and Electrochemistry to Meet MEA Performance and Durability Requirements - Conclusions MEAs with durable electrodes and Nafion XL-100 membrane show significant durability improvements. Substantial reduction in degradation rate under fuel cell potential cycling test conditions was obtained.
