Nickel-cobalt bimetallic anode catalysts for direct urea fuel cell
Nickel is an ideal non-noble metal anode catalyst for direct urea fuel cell (DUFC) due to its high activity. However, there exists a large overpotential toward urea electrooxidation. Herein, NiCo/C bimetallic nanoparticles were prepared with various Co contents (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt%) to improve the activity. The best Co ratio was 10% in the aspect of cell performance, with a maximum power d...
متن کاملDevelopment of a PtSn bimetallic catalyst for direct fuel cells using bio-butanol fuel.
Pt and PtSn catalysts were studied for n-butanol electro-oxidation at various temperatures. PtSn showed a higher activity towards butanol electro-oxidation compared to Pt in acidic media. The onset potential for n-butanol oxidation on PtSn is ∼520 mV lower than that found on Pt, and significantly lower activation energy was found for PtSn compared with that for Pt.
متن کاملNovel Anode Catalyst for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
PtRu catalyst is a promising anodic catalyst for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) but the slow reaction kinetics reduce the performance of DMFCs. Therefore, this study attempts to improve the performance of PtRu catalysts by adding nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe). Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are used to increase the active area of the catalyst and to improve the catalyst performance. Elec...
متن کاملTransient studies of perovskite anode catalyst for a direct CH4 Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
Introduction: The direct use of CH4 as the feed to the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) will allow elimination of a reformer, simplifying the SOFC system and decreasing the system cost [1]. The overall reaction on the anode catalyst in the direct CH4 SOFC is the electrochemical oxidation of CH4: CH4 + 4O CO2 + 2H2O + 8e. Due to the nature of hydrocarbon reactions at high temperature and the reducin...
متن کاملHigh-performance alkaline direct methanol fuel cell using a nitrogen-postdoped anode.
A commercial PtRu/C catalyst postdoped with nitrogen demonstrates a significantly higher performance (~10-20% improvement) in the anode of an alkaline direct methanol fuel cell than an unmodified commercial PtRu/C catalyst control. The enhanced performance shown herein is attributed at least partially to the increased electrochemical surface area of the PtRu/C after postdoping with nitrogen.
