Proton Transport in Polymer Electrolyte Membranes


EMSL Project ID
16296

Abstract

This multi-disciplinary theory program aims to develop, implement and apply new theoretical and computational methods to advance our understanding of proton transport in polymer membranes. The theoretical description of such transport processes is challenging because of the diversity of transport mechanisms and their dependence on local structure in complex molecular environments. The program is fundamental in nature and is relevant to high priority research directions of the DOE-BES Hydrogen Fuel Initiative. The new methods will be compute intensive and will benefit from access to modern massively parallel computing resources.
