Increased oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics, improved CO tolerance, and more efficient water and heat management represent significant advantages that high-temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cells (HT-PEFCs) operating with a phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane offer over traditional Nafion-based, low-temperature PEFCs. However, before such HT-PEFCs become viable, the...

Host complexes formed through non-covalent interactions comprise a rapidly growing area of supramolecular chemistry. In particular, three-dimensional hosts which reversibly encapsulate guests hold great potential as both novel tools in chemistry and as biological models. Here, we describe the design, synthesis, and study of several selfassembling molecular capsules. In particular, we discuss ho...

Synthesize carbon-based metal-free catalysts and • carbon-composite catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Optimize catalytic active reaction sites as a function • of carbon support, surface oxygen groups, nitrogen content, surface modifiers, pyrolysis temperature, porosity, and the concentration of the non-metallic additive “X” in the catalyst matrix. Evaluate catalyst stability under ...

A series of Ni-based catalysts were prepared using hydrogen reduction of Ni/Al hydrotalcite-like compounds (Ni/Al HTlcs) synthesized by coprecipitation. The physico-chemical properties of Ni/Al hydrotalcite-like compounds and the corresponding Ni-based catalysts were characterized using inductively coupled plasma (ICP), BET surface areas, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTI...

Heterogeneous catalysts are promising for the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils to produce biodiesel and have been studied intensively over the last decade. Unlike the homogeneous catalysts, heterogeneous catalysts can be easily separated from reaction mixture and reused for many times. They are environmentally benign and could be easily operated in continuous processes. This revie...

This review selectively summarizes the latest developments in the Pd-based cataysts for low temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells, especially in the application of formic acid oxidation, alcohol oxidation and oxygen reduction reaction. The advantages and shortcomings of the Pd-based catalysts for electrocatalysis are analyzed. The influence of the structure and morphology of the Pd ma...
