The CMU-EDL is well equipped for carrying out advanced research in fuel cells, batteries, microfluidics, and electrokinetics.

Our capabilities include fuel cell and battery fabrication and testing, flow visualization, electrokinetic flow experiments, and rapid prototyping.

The work space is equipped for experimental research in the areas of thermosciences and thermal fluids.

There are areas dedicated to solution preparation and the fabrication of MEAs and custom micro-measurement structures.

 glove-box.jpg The glove box is used for battery fabrication that requires an argon environment. The glove box is also used to store catalysts that require an inert environment to minimize their degradation.

At our electrochemical testing area, we have a two-channel Bio-Logic VSP potentiostat, a high current (80A) potentiostat with EIS, multiple electrolyzer test stations, and several fuel cell test stand, among other pieces of gas flow, temperature control, and electrical equipment.
