High-volume product designers traditionally considered ceramics a last substrate option due to high cost and lack of format availability. In the past, available thin ceramics were certainly not strong, robust, self-supporting or flexible. Volume markets today require a new set of high-performance, high-temperature-capable ceramic materials that are available in an ultrathin flexible roll format.
The huge global demand for clean and efficient energy, stable food, and clean water and air will spawn boundless opportunities for fuel cell technologies.
