Fuel cells are efficient and quiet energy conversion devices. At the core of fuel cell research and development is electrochemical science and engineering - an area of excellence at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) for over half a century. In fact, the Case School of Engineering traces its work in energy advancement to the 1930s, when it became an acclaimed leader in electrochemistry research for fuel cells. One of the first modern fuel cells was built at CWRU in early 1950s. Today the Case Fuel Cell Center (CFCC) continues to feature world-class technical leadership and state-of-the-art equipment in the electrochemical energy area, with an active and broadly engaged faculty specializing in fuel cells, batteries, and fundamental/applied electrochemistry. Fuel cells are a keystone of the Great Lakes Energy Institute research portfolio. CFCC has major interdisciplinary and multimillion dollar research programs and several members of the faculty are world-renowned experts on the technology as well as the science.
