The U.S. Department of Energy Fuel Cell Technologies Program supports research and development (R&D) of fuel cells and fuel cell systems for stationary, portable and transportation applications. The Program maintains a diverse portfolio of R&D projects aimed at reducing cost and improving durability of fuel cell systems, with an overarching goal of enabling fuel cell technology to compete with alternative technologies in the marketplace. This paper describes the Program's recent activities and progress in development of catalysts, membranes and membrane electrode assemblies for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells.
