Catalyst supports for polymer electrolyte fuel cells.
A major challenge in obtaining long-term durability in fuel cells is to discover catalyst supports that do not corrode, or corrode much more slowly than the current carbon blacks used in today's polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Such materials must be sufficiently stable at low pH (acidic conditions) and high potential, in contact with the polymer membrane and under exposure to hydrogen ...
متن کاملDirect Numerical Simulation Modeling of Bilayer Cathode Catalyst Layers in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
A pore-scale description of species and charge transport through a bilayer cathode catalyst layer CL of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell using a direct numerical simulation DNS model is presented. Two realizations of the bilayer catalyst layer structure are generated using a stochastic reconstruction technique with varied electrolyte and void phase volume fractions. The DNS calculations predict ...
متن کاملPolyaniline-derived Non-Precious Catalyst for the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Cathode
This paper focuses on a new polyaniline-derived non-precious cathode catalyst with high oxygen-reduction activity, verified in electrochemical and fuel cell testing. The rotating disk (RDE) onset and half-wave potential (E1⁄2) of oxygen reduction were measured at 0.90 V and 0.77 V, respectively. Rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) study revealed very good selectivity in the fourelectron reducti...
متن کاملDevelopment of a metal oxide cathode catalyst for air- cathode microbial fuel cells
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) converts the organic compounds to electricity. The higher cost of the cathode catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is one of the major limitations in the technology. Therefore, the study endeavored to introduce a novel cathode catalyst i.e. porous Co3O4 flakes for ORR in MFCs. The flakes exhibited the micropore surface area of 1.0372 m2/g. The MFC with cobalt o...
متن کاملNeutral hydrophilic cathode catalyst binders for microbial fuel cells†
Improving oxygen reduction in microbial fuel cell (MFC) cathodes requires a better understanding of the effects of the catalyst binder chemistry and properties on performance. A series of polystyrene-bpoly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO) polymers with systematically varying hydrophilicity were designed to determine the effect of the hydrophilic character of the binder on cathode performance. Increas...
