Improved solid oxide fuel cell performance with nanostructured electrolytes.
Considerable attention has been focused on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) due to their potential for providing clean and reliable electric power. However, the high operating temperatures of current SOFCs limit their adoption in mobile applications. To lower the SOFC operating temperature, we fabricated a corrugated thin-film electrolyte membrane by nanosphere lithography and atomic layer deposi...
متن کاملBoosting fuel cell performance with a semiconductor photocatalyst: TiO2/Pt-Ru hybrid catalyst for methanol oxidation.
A hybrid carbon fiber electrode (CFE) consisting of TiO2 semiconductor photocatalyst and Pt-Ru catalyst has been developed to boost the performance of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). These two catalyst nanoparticles are deposited on opposite sides of the carbon fiber paper such that methanol oxidation is carried out catalytically on Pt-Ru and photocatalytically on TiO2 under UV-light irradia...

متن کاملAn Enhanced Transient Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Performance Model
iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank the good Lord for supplying His grace to finish this work. The Lord has provided people of excellence to help complete the present thesis. First, I would like to thank my lead research advisor, Dr. Comas Haynes, for loving me as his "academic son." Without Dr. Haynes' love, guidance, and support, this work could not have been completed, nor would...
متن کاملModeling the Performance of a Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
In this paper, we develop two computational models for the electrical performance of the tubular solid oxide fuel cell designed by Siemens Westinghouse Corporation. The first model makes simplifying assumptions for activation and concentration polarizations and obtains an analytical solution. In the second procedure, we allow the polarizations to vary with the current density and solve the equa...
