Multi-component electrocatalyst for low-temperature fuel cells synthesized via sonochemical reactions

Synthesized Bimetallic Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells

In the present study, a step by step process was applied to synthesize bimetallic electrocatalyst (Ru and Pt on VulcanXC-72R). This process can reduce the amount of platinum and increase the gas diffusion electrode (GDE) performance in the cathodic reaction of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Using the impregnation by hydrothermal synthesis method, a series of electrocatalysts ...

Application of Water for Synthesis of Cyclopentadienes via Multi-component Reactions of N-methyl imidazole

A water-accelerated multi-component synthesis of organic target molecules was used as a key method for the preparation of cyclopentadiene derivatives. The three-component condensation reactions of primary amines with alkyl propiolates in the presence of N-methylimidazole in water at room temperature were developed as efficient and clean green synthetic procedures for the high-yielding preparati...

application of water for synthesis of cyclopentadienes via multi-component reactions of n-methyl imidazole

Room temperature sonochemical initiation of thiol-ene reactions.

Thiol-ene 'click' reactions have been initiated for a range of primary alkenes using ultrasound in both toluene and water. The method is particularly effective in aqueous solutions in the presence of air.

Numerical Computation Of Multi-Component Two-Phase Flow in Cathode Of PEM Fuel Cells

A two-dimensional, unsteady, isothermal and two-phase flow of reactant-product mixture in the air-side electrode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) is studied numerically in the present study. The mixture is composed of oxygen, nitrogen, liquid water and water vapor. The governing equations are two species conservation, a single momentum equation for mobile mixture, liquid mass cons...
