Chandra Macauley is a postdoctoral researcher at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and conducts research on hydrogen fuel cells and catalysts. Fuel cells convert chemical energy into electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike batteries, however, a fuel cell requires a continuous fuel source to sustain the reaction. “If we can better understand and tailor the structure of fuel cells, we can also improve their performance,” explains Macauley.
