Synergistic Fouling Control Technologies (SEAFRONT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Marine biofouling, the unwanted colonization of marine organisms on surfaces immersed in seawater has a huge economic and environmental impact in terms of maintenance requirements for marine structures, increased vessel fuel consumption, operating costs, greenhouse gas emissions and spread of non-indigenous species. The SEAFRONT project will aim to significantly advance the control of biofouling a ...

Advanced materials for batteries (MAT4BAT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"Li-ion technologies initiated in the 90’ at a fast development pace thanks mainly to emerging ICTs with more than 20 GWh sold in 2010. Soon, it appeared as a credible technology for electrical vehicles as it could provide average energy densities of about 140 Wh/kg. However and since then,major breakthroughs have been expected to reach higher storage levels of 250 Wh/kg on battery system level wi ...

Improved Lifetime of Automotive Application Fuel Cells with ultra low Pt-loading (IMPACT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"The main objective of the planned project IMPACT is to increase the life-time of fuel cells with membrane-electrode assemblies containing ultra low Pt-loading (< 0.2 mg cm-2) for automotive applications. The economic requirements to reduce Pt loading leads to the challenge to maintain durability and performance, an aspect which has not been addressed sufficiently in public projects and studies. A ...

Nanocomposite materials for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants (LIMPID)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Limpid aims at generating new knowledge on photocatalytic materials and processes in order to develop novel depollution treatments with enhanced efficiency and applicability. The main goal of LIMPID is to develop materials and technologies based on the synergic combination of different types of nanoparticles (NPs) into a polymer host to generate innovative nanocomposites which can be actively appl ...

AUTOmatic Code Generation from models For MOBILE Applications (AUTOMOBILE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The release of the iPhone on June 29, 2007 marked the advent of the mobile-dominated post-PC era in IT, which accelerated in 2010 after the introduction of the iPad. In the next few years, this mobile-centric model will further increase, with smartphones and tablets expecting to triple from 2012 to 2015. Users will see a new era of increasingly context-aware, multichannel user experiences and soft ...

Development of H2 Safety Expert Groups and due diligence tools for public awareness and trust in hydrogen technologies and applications (H2TRUST)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Although many predictions for the hydrogen economy in the last decade have proven optimistic, the maturity of it is now increasingly evident by the substantial investments in R&D, demonstration and industrialisation made by public and private institutions in Europe. The USA and Japan are leading the hydrogen based energy infrastructure, becoming a mainstream solution for society’s need to transiti ...

European Li-Ion Battery Advanced Manufacturing for Electric Vehicles (ELIBAMA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

The global objective of the ELIBAMA project is to enhance and accelerate the creation of a strong European automotive battery industry structured around industrial companies already committed to mass production of Li-ion cells and batteries for EVs. Europe faces strong competition from Asia and the USA where more investments and production capacities for Li-ion batteries currently exist. The ELIBA ...

STAYERS Stationary PEM fuel cells with lifetimes beyond five years (STAYERS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

"Economical use of PEM fuel cell power for stationary applications demands a lifetime of the fuel cells of at least 5 years, or more than 40,000 hours of continuous operation. The prospect of large scale application for automotive use has focused PEM research on low cost production techniques with practical lifetimes of the fuel cells of 5,000 hours. For the stationary use, especially in the chemi ...

PEM with Innovative low cost Core for Automotive applicatioN (PEMICAN)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Up to now, much work has been performed on the catalyst but much on the active layers’ structure and on the two other major components (carbon and electrolyte) whereas they do have a major impact on the MEA’s performance and on Pt utilization.Based on this analysis, PEMICAN proposes to reduce the Pt loading for automotive application down to 0.15 gram of Pt per kW, by a twofold approach:1.to incr ...

MembrAnEs for STationary application with RObust mechanical properties (MAESTRO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Low equivalent weight ionomers are required to reach the membrane conductivity and MEA performance targets for stationary operation and enable stationary PEMFC systems to achieve superior overall system yield to competitive technologies. Perfluorosulfonic acid ionomers (PFSA) demonstrate excellent properties in terms of chemical resistance in a fuel cell environment. In stationary applications, w ...

Anticipating the Network of the Future - From Theory to Design (Euro-NF)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

Future networks became a central topic with a large debate whether moving towards the new networked society will be evolutionary or disruptive. In the future networked society the physical and the digital worlds will merge based on the massive usage of wireless sensor networks. Objects will be able to identify and locate themselves and to communicate through radio interfaces. Self-organized edge n ...
