Development of Supported Bifunctional Electrocatalysts for Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells
Mixed metal catalysts containing Pt, Ir, Ru, Os, and Rh were synthesized on three different conductive oxide supports, Ebonex, which is a mixture of Ti4O7 and other phases, phase-pure microcrystalline Ti4O7 , and Ti0.9Nb0.1O2 , a doped rutile compound. Ebonex-supported catalysts were prepared as arrays and screened combinatorially for activity and stability as bifunctional oxygen reduction/wate...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Simulation of Mass Transfer in Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells under Operation Mode Switching
A two-dimensional, single-phase, isothermal, multicomponent, transient model is built to investigate the transport phenomena in unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs) under the condition of switching from the fuel cell (FC) mode to the water electrolysis (WE) mode. The model is coupled with an electrochemical reaction. The proton exchange membrane (PEM) is selected as the solid electrolyte of...
متن کاملNew Electrocatalysts for Fuel Cells
Approach • Study the kinetics of fuel cell electrode reactions on well-characterized model electrodes and high surface area fuel cell electrocatalysts using modern electroanalytical methods. • Study the mechanisms of the reactions using state-of-the art in-situ spectroscopes. • Use ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) methods of surface preparation and surface analyses to form tailored surfaces. • Synthesize...
متن کاملCombinatorial discovery of bifunctional oxygen reduction — water oxidation electrocatalysts for regenerative fuel cells
Electrode arrays containing 715 unique combinations of five elements (Pt, Ru, Os, Ir, and Rh) were prepared by borohydride reaction of aqueous metal salts, and were screened for activity as oxygen reduction and water oxidation catalysts. Using a consensus map, catalysts that showed high activity for both reactions and good resistance to anodic corrosion were identified in the Pt–Ru rich region ...
متن کاملEfficiency of unitized reversible fuel cell systems
A pilot-scale unitized reversible fuel cell (URFC) system was installed in our laboratory (AIST) and its efficiency was comprehensively evaluated. This URFC system was composed of a proton exchange membrane (PEM)-based cell/stack and balance of plant (BOP) adaptable for both electrolysis (EL) and fuel cell (FC) operationmodes. First, the efficiency of this URFC system was evaluated at both the ...
