Network for Joint Fuel Cell Research with Estonia

The aim of the NETonia-project is to promote the cooperation between Germany and Estonia via bilateral exchanges and with the central point of establishing the NETonia Joint Exchange and Networking Platform for sharing scientific data. The goal is to intensify the cooperation between German and Estonian research organizations for fuel cell research. Fuel cells are expected to play an important role as efficient energy converter in a sustainable energy supply. In the NETonia project, novel electrocatalytically active, durable and cost effective functionalized graphene-based catalysts will be synthesized that are needed for high performance and long-term durability of fuel cell systems.
