Tailoring the Microstructure and High‐Temperature Stability of CoNiV MEAs Through Chromium Alloying

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Cr‐doped CoNiV MEAs exhibit enhanced mechanical strength, wear resistance, and superior oxidation and corrosion resistance at high temperatures. These improvements are attributed to Cr‐induced microstructural refinement and the formation of a stable Cr2O3 protective layer, making them promising for demanding structural and high‐temperature applications.
