TUSTIN, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 22, 2005--Pacific Fuel Cell Corp. (OTCBB: PFCE - News )
is pleased to announce that it has completed the prototype of its proprietary
nanostructured Membrane Electrode Assembly (nanoMEA), and is currently looking
for partners for the nanoMEA production.
According to Dr. Yushan Yan, a member of PFCE's board
of directors, the new carbon nanomaterial-based MEAs
have shown excellent performance for both hydrogen
and methanol fuel cells. For example, this technology
uses 75 percent less platinum while exceeding the performance
of current state-of-the-art MEAs for methanol fuel
cells. The carbon nanomaterials are used as the support
of platinum or platinum alloy catalysts. Another major
advantage of these carbon nanomaterials is their higher
corrosion resistance and thus longer lifetime than
carbon black.
George
Suzuki, PFCE president stated: "PFCE is proud
and excited about the results of its long-time research
on carbon nanomaterial MEAs that are both of high
performance and reasonably priced. We hope to start
taking sample orders by the time we exhibit at The
Fuel Cell Seminar in Palm Springs, California, November
14-17, 2005. Our booth number is 220."
Pacific
Fuel Cell Corp. is a nanotechnology company committed
to the development and production of carbon nanomaterial-based
membrane electrode assemblies ("nanoMEAs") with
reduced cost and higher performance for fuel cells
in the portable and micro fuel cell market.
