]]> Using advanced electron microscopes, researchers at Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology have developed an innovative method to study and understand how fuel cells degrade over time. This may prove to be an important step towards improving the performance of hydrogen fuel cells, which could lead to greater commercial potential, particularly in their use in vehicles.

Fuel cells are considered one of the most clean and efficient ways to produce electricity through their use of hydrogen. They work by using an electrochemical process to cause a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, which produces electricity, and only a small amount of harmless “waste” water and heat.
