This paper reports on the performance of an alkaline-acid direct chloro ethanol fuel cell (AA-DCLEFC) that is composed of an alkaline anode, a membrane and an acid cathode. The effects of membrane thickness and the concentration of various species at both the anode and cathode on the cell performances are investigated. It has been demonstrated that the peak power density of this AA-DCLEFC that ...

A one-pot solvothermal process has been developed for direct preparation of PdCu nanocapsules (with a size of ca. 10 nm) on three-dimensional (3D) graphene. Due to the 3D pore-rich network of graphene and the unique hollow structure of PdCu nanocapsules with a wall thickness of ca. 3 nm, the newly-prepared PdCu/3D graphene hybrids activated electrochemically have great electrocatalytic activity...

This project will synthesize novel PF AEMs and ionomers and incorporate these MEAs for fuel cell testing. The project generally supports targets outlined in the MYRDD Plan in application specific areas (portable, stationary, transportation). However, as alkaline membrane fuel cells are at an earlier stage of development, specific target tables have not yet been developed. There are two tasks in...
