HBAT: The Fuel Cell That Thinks Like a Battery

HBAT is a reverse-flow proton fuel cell with built-in hydrogen storage at the cell level, a breakthrough that makes hydrogen energy more practical and efficient.

 At its core is a high-capacity H⁺ storage material, engineered to hold hydrogen protons in large quantities. The smart combination of materials makes it revolutionary, and, economically viable.

What’s different?

To add storage at cell level.
To find a material that stores better.
To use materials that make it economically feasible.
Reduce lower temperatures to improve conversion rate

HBAT makes hydrogen while charging
It stores H- protons. Safely. To be used while discharging
A FuelCell becomes a battery
Using abundant materials controls cost.

It’s more than an iteration, 
It’s the next step energy storage!

Charging Mode (Electrolysis)

Apply electricity, and HBAT acts as an electrolyzer:

  • Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.

  • Capturing and storing H⁺ protons using an advanced catalyst layer.

  • Utilizing a conductive polymer and nitrogen-doped carbon nanofoam for efficient proton storage.

The Power of Reversibility

Thanks to its ability to support fully reversible chemical reactions,
unlike conventional fuel cells, HBAT functions like a battery

Discharging Mode (Fuel Cell)

Need power? HBAT switches to fuel cell mode:

  • Releasing stored protons, which travel through the membrane.

  • Reacting with oxygen and electrons to generate electricity.

  • Producing only water as a byproduct: clean, efficient energy.

A Fuel Cell That Charges Like a Battery 


By storing energy in chemical bonds and releasing it as electricity on demand,
HBAT combines the best of both worlds, the long-term storage of hydrogen
with the flexibility of a rechargeable battery.
