Beef-derived mesoporous carbon as highly efficient support for PtRuIr electrocatalysts and their high activity for CO and methanol oxidation
(SACI, 2014)
In this work, a low-cost and nitrogen-containing carbon with mesoporous pores and high surface area was synthesized by
carbonizing a natural biomass precursor, i.e. beef. It is found that the prepared material has excellent ...
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 ...
Improved hydrogenation kinetics of timn1.52 alloy coated with palladium through electroless deposition
(MPDI, 2021)
The deterioration of hydrogen charging performances resulting from the surface chemical
action of electrophilic gases such as CO2
is one of the prevailing drawbacks of TiMn1.52 materials.
In this study, we report the ...
Dehydrogenation of metal hydride reactor-phase change materials coupled with light-duty fuel cell vehicles
(MDPI, 2022)
The popularity of using phase change materials (PCMs) for heat storage and recovery of
metal hydrides’ reaction has grown tremendously. However, a fundamental study of the coupling of
such a system with a low-temperature ...
Magnesium- and intermetallic alloys-based hydrides for energy storage: Modelling, synthesis and properties
(IOP Publishing, 2022)
Hydrides based on magnesium and intermetallic compounds provide a viable solution to the challenge of energy storage from renewable sources, thanks to their ability to absorb and desorb hydrogen in a reversible way with a ...
Recovery and recycling of valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries: A comprehensive review and analysis
(MDPI, 2023)
The recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion Batteries) has drawn a lot of interest in
recent years in response to the rising demand for the corresponding high-value metals and materials
and the mounting concern ...
Highly-dispersed vanadium nitride supported on porous nitrogen-doped carbon material as a high-performance cathode for lithium-sulfur batteries
(Wiley, 2022)
Transition metals and their compounds supported on carbon materials are widely used as cathodes for lithium-sulfur batteries. Vanadium nitride is considered to be a promising cathode because of its good adsorption capacity ...
Ex-situ electrochemical characterization of iro2 synthesized by a modified Adams fusion method for the oxygen evolution reaction
(MDPI, 2019)
The development of highly stable and active electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution
reaction (OER) has attracted significant research interest. IrO2 is known to show good stability
during the OER however it is not known ...
Metal hydride beds-phase change materials: Dual mode thermal energy storage for medium-high temperature industrial waste heat recovery
(MDPI, 2019)
Heat storage systems based on two-tank thermochemical heat storage are gaining
momentum for their utilization in solar power plants or industrial waste heat recovery since
they can e ciently store heat for future usage. ...
