| description | This review is focused on FC-BENTEN, an advanced synchrotron X-ray experimental database developed at SPring-8 with support from Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Designed to advance polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) research, FC-BENTEN addresses challenges in improving efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness through data-driven approaches informed by materials informatics (MI). Through standardization of protocols for sample preparation, data acquisition, analysis, and formatting, the database ensures high-quality, reproducible data essential for reliable scientific outcomes. FC-BENTEN streamlines metadata creation using automated processes and template-based tools, enhancing data management, accessibility, and interoperability. Security measures include two-factor authentication, safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining controlled user access. Planned integration with MI platforms will broaden data cross-referencing capabilities, facilitate PEFC applications expansion, and guide future research. This review discusses FC-BENTEN’s architectural framework, metadata standardization efforts, and role in advancing PEFC research through a high-throughput experimental workflow. It illustrates how data-driven methods and standardized practices contribute to innovation, underscoring databases’ potential to accelerate next-generation PEFC technologies development. |
