In 1960s, DuPont began research and develop perfluorinated ion-exchange membrane, 15 years later they succeed. Japan Asahi Glass Company exchange part of the production rights from DuPont, but they did not own intellectual property. For these 30 years, this the world’s cutting-edge technology has controlled by the United States and Japan.
The result of being controled by core technology is not difficult to predict. In order to eliminate this threat to national economic security risks, since 1980, China has put the perfluorinated ion-exchange membrane technology in the country “June 5″ “Seventh Five-Year” key scientific and technological programs, and invested several hundred million dollars of funds for technological breakthroughs. However, the project has not been developed, being called by experts as “the hearts of Chinese people always hurts,” the technology is entrusted with the capture of several generations of human quest for the chemical industry.
Ranks second in the world, who mastered it grasps the National Strategy “commanding heights” fuel cell has high military value.
