IV.J.4 Advanced Catalysts for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
Approach • Develop a methodology that provides high-throughput fabrication and analyses of novel alloy materials of arbitrary composition. • Evaluate multi-component alloys consisting of platinum, ruthenium, nickel and zirconium that are corrosion-resistant in acid for catalytic activity. • Analyze results of polarization studies to develop a rationale for catalyst performance. • Evaluate promi...
متن کاملBifunctional anode catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells
Using the binding energy of OH* and CO* on close-packed surfaces as reactivity descriptors, we screen bulk and surface alloy catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation activity. Using these two descriptors, we illustrate that a good methanol electro-oxidation catalyst must have three key properties: (1) the ability to activate methanol, (2) the ability to activate water, and (3) the ability to re...
متن کاملNovel Anode Catalyst for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
PtRu catalyst is a promising anodic catalyst for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) but the slow reaction kinetics reduce the performance of DMFCs. Therefore, this study attempts to improve the performance of PtRu catalysts by adding nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe). Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are used to increase the active area of the catalyst and to improve the catalyst performance. Elec...

متن کاملLiquid methanol concentration sensors for direct methanol fuel cells
Liquid-fed direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are one of the most promising candidates for portable power electronics and automotive pplications due to their potentially high-energy density, simple storage, and distribution of the fuel. The concentration of methanol in the fuel irculation loop of a DMFC system is an important operating parameter, because it determines the electrical performance...
