Researchers at UNIST have developed a groundbreaking method to improve the efficiency of hydrogen fuel cells, a crucial eco-friendly energy source. By using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with guest molecules of low acidity, they significantly enhanced hydrogen ion conductivity in solid electrolytes. MOFs’ porous structures allowed for the introduction of guest molecules, increasing conductivity levels. This advancement holds immense promise for more efficient and durable hydrogen fuel cells, aligning with global decarbonization efforts.
