PhD scholarship – Development of improved electrodes in high temperature PEM fuel cells Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that produce electricity directly from a fuel like a battery. The fundamental difference is that it need no recharging but operates as long as fuel is supplied. Fuel cells are expected to play a vital role in the

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A new type of natural-gas electric power plant proposed by MIT researchers could provide electricity with zero carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere, at costs comparable to or less than conventional natural-gas plants, and even to coal-burning plants. But that can only come about if and when a price is set on the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases — a ...
