SUMMARY:Conférence de Patrick FORTIN - 24/5/2024
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Fortin\nchercheur scientifique au SINTEF\, Norvège\nve
 ndredi 24 mai à 14h30\, salle de conférence\n\nNext-Generation Membranes
  for Green Hydrogen Production\n&nbsp\;\nGreen hydrogen is routinely cited
  as a major pillar of the clean energy transition by the European Commissi
 on and research efforts are well underway to develop innovative materials 
 with better performance\, longer lifetimes\, lower costs\, and increased s
 ustainability. Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is curr
 ently the most promising route towards large-scale green hydrogen producti
 on but relies on the use of critical raw materials (e.g.\, platinum group 
 metals and titanium) and materials with sustainability/environmental conce
 rns (e.g.\, fluorinated membranes). SINTEF\, in collaboration with the Un
 iversity of Montpellier\, are developing non-fluorinated membranes for PEM
 WE applications to ensure the future of electrolysis remains affordable\, 
 circular\, and sustainable.\nIn addition to PEMWE\, green hydrogen can be 
 produced in an alkaline environment using anion exchange membranes (AEMs).
  While anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) is less mature\,
  it holds significant promise to reduce costs by replacing expensive Pt- a
 nd Ir-based catalysts with inexpensive Ni-based catalysts. SINTEF\, in col
 laboration with the University of Montpellier\, have proposed a novel clas
 s of AEMs based on covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to promote enhanced 
 membrane stability\, ionic conductivity\, and selectivity.\nThis presentat
 ion will introduce the concept of green hydrogen production and the curren
 t challenges that must be overcome to meet the ambitious emission reductio
 n targets set by the EU. Research highlights from the development of non-f
 luorinated proton exchange membranes and COF-based anion exchange membrane
 s will be presented.\n\n&nbsp\;\nPatrick's bio:\nPatrick is research scien
 tist at SINTEF\, a research organization in Norway\, where he works in the
  Electrochemical Hydrogen Technologies group. He received his PhD from Sim
 on Fraser University in 2019 and spent a year at Ionomr Innovations before
  joining SINTEF. With a background in electrochemistry and a particular in
 terest in polymers\, his research expertise is in the field of low tempera
 ture fuel cell and electrolyser technologies\, both PEM and AEM\, where he
  is coordinating several international research projects on these topics. 
 The EHT group at SINTEF specializes in advanced in-situ characterization o
 f novel fuel cell and electrolyser components to guide the development of 
 next-generation materials.
