IV.J.4 Advanced Catalysts for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
Approach • Develop a methodology that provides high-throughput fabrication and analyses of novel alloy materials of arbitrary composition. • Evaluate multi-component alloys consisting of platinum, ruthenium, nickel and zirconium that are corrosion-resistant in acid for catalytic activity. • Analyze results of polarization studies to develop a rationale for catalyst performance. • Evaluate promi...
متن کاملBifunctional anode catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells
Using the binding energy of OH* and CO* on close-packed surfaces as reactivity descriptors, we screen bulk and surface alloy catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation activity. Using these two descriptors, we illustrate that a good methanol electro-oxidation catalyst must have three key properties: (1) the ability to activate methanol, (2) the ability to activate water, and (3) the ability to re...
متن کاملMethanol electro-oxidation on platinum modified tungsten carbides in direct methanol fuel cells: a DFT study.
In exploration of low-cost electrocatalysts for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), Pt modified tungsten carbide (WC) materials are found to be great potential candidates for decreasing Pt usage whilst exhibiting satisfactory reactivity. In this work, the mechanisms, onset potentials and activity for electrooxidation of methanol were studied on a series of Pt-modified WC catalysts where the bar...
متن کاملSupport Effects on Palladium Catalysts for Methanol Fuel Applications
Methanol, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and propylene conversion were examined in a laboratory flow reactor over three base-metal containing alumina-supported palladium (Pd) catalysts in addition to Pd on y-alumina catalyst. The base metals were cerium, barium, and a combination of the two. Experiments were performed to determine the effect of air to fuel ratio on lightoff temperatures of vari...
متن کاملLiquid methanol concentration sensors for direct methanol fuel cells
Liquid-fed direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are one of the most promising candidates for portable power electronics and automotive pplications due to their potentially high-energy density, simple storage, and distribution of the fuel. The concentration of methanol in the fuel irculation loop of a DMFC system is an important operating parameter, because it determines the electrical performance...
