Abstract: This project mainly focus on fuel cell MEA recycling containing PGM metals, ionomers and carbon. Unlike traditional pyrometallurgical method, our method not only maintain similarly high recycling efficiency of Pt recycling, but also properly deal with the rest part of MEA including PFAS materials without any HF emissions, which is environmentally friendly. In addition, compared with other method, our method is easy to scale up and posses a great potential for industrialization.
