Performing carbon monoxide reduction in membrane electrode assembly configuration (MEA) is critical to achieving a high reaction rate while reducing cell resistance. Most studies examine the role of cathode on product selectivity and stability, comparatively little attention has been given impact performance. This study demonstrates that properties such as water uptake, ion-exchange capacity, f...

The paper reports on the processing of chitosan N-doped reduced graphene oxide (CS/N-rGO) nanocomposite membranes prepared by a facile, dispersion-casting procedure aimed as anion exchange in fuel cells. Genipin (GEN) was used crosslinking agent to ameliorate mechanical weakens membranes, while N-rGO filler, aside its role enhancer, is expected improve ionic conductivity membranes. resulting pr...

The combined effect of both concentration and pressure differences on electrical potential (Ad~) for two ion-exchanger membranes, one positively charged (AE) and another negatively charged (CE), measured with the membranes in contact with NaCI solutions was studied. Results show a linear dependence between Adp and pressure, independently if AC and AP have the same or opposite directions. The ra...
