Battery science has lost a giant. It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Nobel Laureate John Goodenough. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.

Aslan also received the best presentation award at the Fuel Cell GRS and the first prize for his poster at the Fuel Cell GRC.

@catherine_tays When using an alkaline feed solution I'd say CCS is better since membranes swell when printed on. But if we want to eventually use pure water CCM would be better since it would in theory improve anion conduction between membrane and catalyst as they're in direct contact.

@catherine_tays Then the other factors that affect durability occur while the cell is being tested. Processes like how the catalyst layer interacts with the electricity being put through it and how it handles the acidic medium, such as if it dissolves or not will affect durability. -Eric

@catherine_tays The viscosity and surface tension are mainly important for creating a nice droplet when being printed. This could have an effect on durability since it helps determine the structure of the catalyst layer as the fluid wets the membrane surface and evaporates. -Eric
