Solar-induced direct biomass-to-electricity hybrid fuel cell using polyoxometalates as photocatalyst and charge carrier.
The current polymer-exchange membrane fuel cell technology cannot directly use biomass as fuel. Here we present a solar-induced hybrid fuel cell that is directly powered with natural polymeric biomasses, such as starch, cellulose, lignin, and even switchgrass and wood powders. The fuel cell uses polyoxometalates as the photocatalyst and charge carrier to generate electricity at low temperature....
متن کاملOptimization of Direct 2-propanol Fuel Cell Performance Using Statistical Design of Experiments Approach
Direct alcohol fuel cells have been attracting enormous research interest as power sources for vehicles and portable electronic devices because alcohols are readily available, their storage and transport can be easily handled with the existing fuel infrastructure, and they commonly have high mass-specific and volumetric energy densities. Methanol is the most studied fuel for direct alcohol fuel...
متن کاملApplication of a thermally assisted mechanical dewatering process to biomass
Thermally assisted mechanical dewatering (TAMD) is a new process for energy efficient liquid/solids separation which enhances conventional device efficiency. The main idea of this process is to supply a flow of heat in mechanical dewatering processes to favour the reduction of the liquid content. This is not a new idea but the proposed combination, especially the chosen operating conditions (T ...
متن کاملProposing New Algorithm for Modeling of Regenerative Fuel Cell (RFC) System
Regenerative Fuel Cell (RFC) systems are used for the enhancement of sustainable energy aspect in conventional fuel cells. In this study, a photovoltaic-electrolyzer-fuel cell integrated cycle has been presented. The proposed system has been designed as a novel approach for alleviating the restrictions on energy streams in the RFC systems. Modeling of the system has been performed from the mas...
متن کاملFormation of ZnO by Annealing of Thermally Evaporated Zinc in Oxygen Ambient for Solar Cell Application
Zinc oxide films have been formed from thermally evaporated zinc films on polished and textured silicon wafers after heat treatment at temperatures between 400-900°C for 10min in oxygen ambient. These ZnO films show crystalline structure and the values of their refractive index are found to increase slightly from 1.85 for films annealed at 400°C to 2.05 for the films annealed at 900°C. The film...
