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 ... -
Nafion-stabilised platinum nanoparticles supported on titanium nitride: An efficient and durable electrocatalyst for phosphoric acid based polymer electrolyte fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2013)Nafion derived platinum nanoparticles were produced and successfully anchored on titanium nitride (TiN) support (Pt/TiN) and its suitability for phosphoric acid based polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is reported. ... -
Scaling factors for channel width variations in treelike flow field patterns for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells - An experimental study
(Elsevier, 2021)To have a uniform distribution of reactants is an advantage to a fuel cell. We report results for such a distributor with tree-like flow field plates (FFP). Numerical simulations have shown that the width scaling parameters ... -
Supported 3-D Pt nanostructures: the straightforward synthesis and enhanced electrochemical performance for methanol oxidation in an acidic medium
(Springer, 2013)Noble metal nanostructures with branched morphologies [i.e., 3-D Pt nanoflowers (NFs)] by tridimensionally integrating onto conductive carbon materials are proved to be an efficient and durable electrocatalysts for methanol ... -
The use of metal hydrides in fuel cell applications
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)This paper reviews state-of-the-art developments in hydrogen energy systems which integrate fuel cells with metal hydride-based hydrogen storage. The 187 reference papers included in this review provide an overview of all ...
