Thermal conductivity and temperature profiles of the micro porous layers used for the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell
(Elsevier, 2013)
The thermal conductivity and the thickness change with pressure of several different
micro porous layers (MPL) used for the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)
were measured. The MPL were made with different ...
Characterization and activity test of commercial Ni/Al2O3, Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 and prepared NieCu/Al2O3 catalysts for hydrogen production from methane and methanol fuels
(Elsevier, 2013)
In this study, methane and methanol steam reforming reactions over commercial Ni/Al2O3, commercial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 and prepared NieCu/Al2O3 catalysts were investigated. Methane and methanol steam reforming reactions catalysts ...
Fuel cell-battery hybrid powered light electric vehicle (golf cart): Influence of fuel cell on the driving performance
(Elsevier, 2013)
A light electric vehicle (golf cart, 5 kW nominal motor power) was integrated with a commercial 1.2 kW PEM fuel cell system, and fuelled by compressed hydrogen (two composite cylinders, 6.8 L/300 bar each). Comparative ...
Membrane electrode assemblies with low noble metal loadings for hydrogen production from solid polymer electrolyte water electrolysis
(Elsevier, 2013)
High performance membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) with low noble metal loadings (NMLs) were developed for solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) water electrolysis. The electro- chemical and physical characterization of the ...
Palygorskite hybridized carbon nanocomposite as a high-performance electrocatalyst support for formic acid oxidation
(South African Chemical Institute (SACI), 2013)
A nanocomposite, in which acid-treated palygorskite was hybridized with carbon, was prepared and designed as an efficient
support for electrocatatlysts. Pd nanoparticles were deposited on the hybrid support as an ...
Effect of the structure of Ni nanoparticles on the electrocatalytic activity of Ni@Pd/C for formic acid oxidation
(Elsevier, 2013)
Ni@Pd/C catalysts were synthesized, using Ni/C with different crystalline structures prepared with various ligands. A series of characterizations were performed by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray ...
Montmorillonite modified by CNx supported Pt for methanol oxidation
(Elsevier, 2013)
A composite support based on nature clay, i.e. montmorillonite (MMT), shows great promise as support materials for Pt electrocatalyst for the methanol oxidation reaction in fuel cell anodes. The reported composite support ...
Nitrogen-doped carbon coated ZeO2 as a support to Pt nanoparticles in the oxygen reduction reaction
(Elsevier, 2013)
A new nitrogen-doped carbon (CNx) support for Pt electrocatalysts was prepared by carbonizing polypyrrole on the surface of ZrO2 (ZrO2@CNx) at high temperature. Well-dispersed Pt nanoparticles were easily formed on the ...
Biomass-derived activated carbon as high-performance non-precious electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
A new type of Fe and N doped carbon material is synthesized by
pyrolyzing ferric chloride doped egg white (EW) and the
proposed synthetic route is easy, green, and low-cost. In addition,
the as-prepared sample exhibits ...
Synthesis of carbon-supported PdSn–SnO2 nanoparticles with different degrees of interfacial contact and enhanced catalytic activities for formic acid oxidation
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
The conjunction of the PdSn alloy and SnO2 is of interest for improving catalytic activity in formic acid
oxidation (FAO). Here, we report the synthesis of PdSn–SnO2 nanoparticles and a study of their catalytic
FAO ...
