Zoltán Kis, member of the Nuclear Analysis and Imaging Group, Budapest Neutron Centre of the HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research, shares his insights.
Within the National Laboratory for Renewable Energy (NLRE) project, the team established a unique research infrastructure in the field of hydrogen technologies: a neutron imaging system for fuel cells. This advanced instrument enables quantitative, operando imaging of fuel cells, which could be crucial for optimizing hydrogen management and for validation measurements of prototypes.
The study presenting this imaging setup has been published in the journal Review of Scientific Instruments: https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0208844
In addition, the project fostered new professional collaborations essential for future research. Depending on the reactor’s availability, the research team plans to conduct operando neutron imaging experiments on fuel cells in the near future.
