flag Researchers repurpose fuel cell membranes for clean energy and water tech, improving efficiency in lithium extraction and carbon capture.

flag Researchers at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are repurposing perfluorosulfonic acid polymer membranes, traditionally used in fuel cells, for sustainable energy and water treatment. flag A study in Frontiers in Membrane Science and Technology found that boiling membranes boosts water absorption and proton conductivity but reduces selectivity, while untreated membranes offer higher precision at slower speeds. flag The findings help optimize membrane use in applications like lithium extraction from brine, redox flow batteries, and carbon dioxide conversion, advancing clean energy and environmental technologies.
