Today’s hydrogen cells don’t last long enough to be cost effective.
Our novel low-cost process will restore the catalyst of a degraded hydrogen fuel cell, without the need to dismantle or replace the fuel cell itself.
Our Funders
Fuel cells that last 6x longer
Our fuel cell renewal process is the first of its kind. We can renew the electrocatalyst of a fuel cell at the surface of the electrode without removing or replacing the fuel cell stack.
Renewing fuel cells extends their operational lifetime six-fold. For example, the fuel cells in Class 8 commercial trucks are manufacturer rated for 150,000 miles. With our renewal process, the same fuel cell will be in service for 1.2 million miles.
Longer-lasting hydrogen-powered heavy equipment means fewer emissions for us all and better return on investment for you.
Enabling the hydrogen transition
Lower cost, long-life hydrogen fuel cells will help accelerate electrification of essential hardware and systems for defense and commercial use. Our chemistry will make this possible. The sky's the limit (at least, until we test in microgravity) .
Low-cost hydrogen fuel cells will make hydrogen-powered aviation possible.
Portable fuel cell regeneration means essential equipment stays in the field longer.
Long-life fuel cells can help affordably decarbonize the grid.
Skip the weight of lithium ion batteries with a long-life fuel cell.
Dr. Stuckey brings a unique combination of technical, legal, and entrepreneurial skills to the complex business problem of fuel cells.
He has 18 years of experience with proton-exchange membrane fuel cell research and development, and 8 years of intellectual property experience examining hydrogen fuel cell and battery patents with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
We're very actively seeking industry and government partners for materials testing and collaboration opportunities, and custom PEM fuel cells.
