Dr. Fuller’s research
facilities are located in the school of Chemical and
Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology
and within Aerospace, Transportation, and Advanced Systems
Laboratory of GTRI. The combined labs contain about 2500 ft2 dedicated to
fundamental work in electrochemical engineering. These
facilities are equipped with an array of instrumentation
and safety systems to support to the design, development,
and testing of battery, fuel-cell, and hybrid power
systems. The facility provides the infrastructure (e.g.,
400 kW of prime power, circulating chilled water, deionized
water, distributed specialty gases, and approved ventilation
and safety systems) needed to develop and characterize
prototype or production assemblies. Equipment includes
potentiostats, galvanometers, fuel-cell test stations,
power-systems analyzers, and gas chromatographs that
have been selected to support the design, development,
and testing of battery and fuel-cell systems. GT has
recently purchased an ion chromatograph (Dionex ICS-2000
Reagent-Free Integrated IC System). It was specified
for detecting and analyzing F- emissions in support
of existing membrane degradation research at the university.
This instrument will be available for this proposed
work. Detecting F- is a key indicator of membrane degradation
and will be vital for this project. In addition, fuel-cell
test capabilities for small-scale (5 cm 5 cm) fundamental
work are available. The lab also has an environmental
chamber, Associated Environmental Systems Model BHD-508,
capable of maintaining temperatures between –37
°C and 177 °C and controlling relative humidity
from 10 to 98 percent.
