Research abstract
Precision Combustion is developing a unique hybrid fuel-cell battery system. The approach features an electrochemical wafer that uses liquid hydrogen as fuel to generate energy coupled with a high-power lithium-ion battery to enable peak-power operation. The progressive energy storage system hybridizes a highly efficient advanced electrochemical device and a small rechargeable battery and pairs them with a high-energy-density carbon-free fuel. The process intensified architecture has the potential to deliver significantly more power density than other systems in development.
