The '''Fuel Cell Consortium for Performance and Durability''' (FC-PAD) is a Department of Energy initiative launched in 2016 under the [[Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy]] (EERE) to enhance the performance and durability of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) for transportation, led by [[Los Alamos National Laboratory]] (LANL) with a core team of five DOE national labs. Focusing on reducing platinum use and extending fuel cell life beyond the DOE’s 5,000-hour durability target, FC-PAD has driven innovations like nanostructured thin-film catalysts and advanced diagnostic tools, with over 50 publications and presentations by 2025 detailing its six thrust areas—e.g., catalysts and electrodes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/fuel-cell-consortium-performance-and-durability-fc-pad |title=FC-PAD Overview |publisher=Department of Energy}}</ref> | The '''Fuel Cell Consortium for Performance and Durability''' (FC-PAD) is a Department of Energy initiative launched in 2016 under the [[Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy]] (EERE) to enhance the performance and durability of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) for transportation, led by [[Los Alamos National Laboratory]] (LANL) with a core team of five DOE national labs.
