Low Platinum Loading Catalysts for Fuel Cells
Objectives • Further improve the new catalyst consisting of a submonolayer of Pt on carbon-supported Ru nanoparticles (1%Pt/10%Ru/C) to come close to the DOE’s 2010 target of 100 μg/cm2 noble metal loading. • Further elucidate the inhibition mechanism of CO on H2 oxidation on Pt. • Reduce Ru loadings in Pt-Ru electrocatalysts. • Explore monolayer-level-supported Pt electrocatalysts for O2 reduc...
متن کاملBimetallic platinum group metal-free catalysts for high power generating microbial fuel cells
M1-M2-N-C bimetallic catalysts with M1 as Fe and Co and M2 as Fe, Co, Ni and Mn were synthesized and investigated as cathode catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The catalysts were prepared by Sacrificial Support Method in which silica was the template and aminoantipyrine (AAPyr) was the organic precursor. The electro-catalytic properties of these catalysts were investigated by using ...
متن کاملDevelopment of carbon free diffusion layer for activated carbon air cathode of microbial fuel cells.
The fabrication of activated carbon air cathodes for larger-scale microbial fuel cells requires a diffusion layer (DL) that is highly resistant to water leakage, oxygen permeable, and made using inexpensive materials. A hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane synthesized using a simple phase inversion process was examined as a low cost ($0.9/m(2)), carbon-free DL that prevented wate...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube-Supported Platinum for Cathode Catalysts of Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
Multiwalled carbon nanotube-supported Pt (Pt/MWNT) nanocomposites were prepared by both the aqueous solution reduction of a Pt salt (HCHO reduction) and the reduction of a Pt ion salt in ethylene glycol solution. For comparison, a Pt/XC-72 nanocomposite was also prepared by the EG method. The Pt/MWNT catalyst prepared by the EG method has a high and homogeneous dispersion of spherical Pt metal ...
متن کاملAir-cathode structure optimization in separator-coupled microbial fuel cells.
Microbial fuel cells (MFC) with 30% wet-proofed air cathodes have previously been optimized to have 4 diffusion layers (DLs) in order to limit oxygen transfer into the anode chamber and optimize performance. Newer MFC designs that allow close electrode spacing have a separator that can also reduce oxygen transfer into the anode chamber, and there are many types of carbon wet-proofed materials a...
