Merhaba!
Profilimi ziyaret ettiğin için teşekkürler! Ben Türkiye’den Enes Muhammet. Türkiye’de Makine Mühendisliği bölümünden mezun olduktan sonra yakıt pili sistemleri hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmek için 2015 yılında Japonya’ya geldim. Nagoya’da Japon kültürü ve Japon Dili üzerine bir yıl çalıştıktan sonra, yüksek lisansımı Hokkaido Üniversitesi’nde yakıt hücresi sistemleri üzerine yaptım. Şimdi Kyushu Üniversitesi’nde bazen karlı kışında bazen sıcak yaz günlerinde, yakıt hücresi sistemleri üzerine doktora araştırmamı yapıyorum.

About Your Research

Single polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC)

Working principle of PEFC system

A source of renewable energy, fuel cell systems are one of the most promising clean energy technologies for transportation and residential energy demand. The rapid commercialization of the so-called polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) in vehicles, show how valued and promising these PEFCs are. However, as PEFCs are very expensive, its expansion is not at a desired level. Main problems of PEFC systems are (1) high cost of the platinum catalyst, (2) degradation and (3) excessive water accumulation in high current density operations.

In my research I focus on the synthesis of superhydrophobic carbon nanoparticles, aiming to improve water management issue in PEFC. By improving the water management, we will be able to operate PEFC under high current densities. In short: this means that we can reduce the manufacturing costs of PEFCs significantly.

Message to prospective students from MENA

If you are ready to discover a new culture and to learn first-handedly about the latest innovative technologies and developments, I suggest you orientate to study in Japan. The J-Mena office and Kyushu University can help you in this orientation – make sure to check scholarship opportunities too!

Your time in Japan is not fruitful only to you – you will also strengthen ties between your home country and Japan.
