Nanostructured tungsten carbide catalysts for polymer electrolyte fuel cells
In this study, high current densities si.e., 0.9 A/cm2d have been obtained in a hydrogen/air polymer electrolyte fuel cell using nanoscale tungsten carbide as the anode catalyst and carbon supported platinum as the cathode catalyst under normal operating conditions of 80 °C and 3 atm. These results show a possibility of replacing precious metal anode catalysts with transition metal compounds fo...
متن کاملGraphitic Carbon Nitride Supported Catalysts for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Graphitic carbon nitrides are investigated for developing highly durable Pt electrocatalyst supports for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). Three different graphitic carbon nitride materials were synthesized with the aim to address the effect of crystallinity, porosity, and composition on the catalyst support properties: polymeric carbon nitride (gCNM), poly(triazine) imide carbon nitride ...
متن کاملStudy of Alkaline Electrodes for Hybrid Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Hybrid polymer electrolyte fuel cells combine a proton exchange membrane PEM and anion exchange membrane AEM and exhibit unique advantages. The electrochemical performance and current limitations of a hybrid cell with an alkaline electrode fabricated on a Nafion membrane was characterized at 70°C as a function of relative humidity. To separate the individual characteristics of the AEM anode and...
متن کاملSupporting information Free Standing Graphene Oxide Paper: New Polymer Electrolyte for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Graphite oxide was synthesized from natural flake graphite by the modified Hummers method. In brief, 200 mg of Graphite particles were immersed in Concentrated sulfuric acid (46 ml) and KMnO4 (6 g) was added slowly in small quantities in which temperature was maintained between the 0 and 5 c using an ice bath, after the complete oxidation of KMnO4, the mixture was heated to 37 c and kept at thi...
متن کاملA direct borohydride fuel cell with a polymer fiber membrane and non-noble metal catalysts
Polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) and Pt-based catalysts are two crucial components which determine the properties and price of fuel cells. Even though, PEM faces problem of fuel crossover in liquid fuel cells such as direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) and direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC), which lowers power output greatly. Here, we report a DBFC in which a polymer fiber membrane (PFM) was u...
