The world energy demand grows rapidly, and the innovation and development of alternative energy sources are absolutely fundamental to meet this need, and to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels and the emission of greenhouse gas. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy. Fuel cells have inherent superior conversion efficiency and fuel flexibility. Particularly promising are solid alkaline fuel cells (SAFCs) because of the faster catalysis at the electrodes thus avoiding the use of expensive Pt-based catalysts. Given this unquestionable interest, I have developed at the INRS-EMT a vigorous research program in materials for electrochemical systems, and in particular for fuel cells. In the present Discovery Grant, I intend to address major challenges related to two of the SAFCs components and thus contributing for the full implementation of this technology. Specifically, in the next five years, I will:

世界能源需求迅速增长，替代能源的创新和发展绝对满足这种需求，并减少对化石燃料和温室气体排放的依赖。燃料电池是电化学设备，可将燃料的化学能直接转化为电能。燃料电池具有固有的卓越转化效率和燃料灵活性。特别有前途的是固体碱性燃料电池（SAFC），因为电极处的催化速度更快，从而避免了使用昂贵的基于PT的催化剂。鉴于这种毫无疑问的兴趣，我在INRS-Emt开发了一项针对电化学系统的材料，尤其是燃料电池的材料研究计划。在本发现赠款中，我打算解决与两个SAFC组件相关的重大挑战，从而有助于该技术的全面实施。具体来说，在接下来的五年中，我将：
