Recent progress in the development of anode and cathode catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells
nt matter & 2013 0.1016/j.nanoen.2 thor. Tel.: +82 54 . nt_tiw123@yahoo Abstract Continuous growth in global energy demand has sparked concerns about energy security and environmental sustainability. In the past two decades, attempts have been made in the development of innovative energy technologies. The direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is among the most promising alternative energy sources fo...
متن کاملIV.J.4 Advanced Catalysts for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
Approach • Develop a methodology that provides high-throughput fabrication and analyses of novel alloy materials of arbitrary composition. • Evaluate multi-component alloys consisting of platinum, ruthenium, nickel and zirconium that are corrosion-resistant in acid for catalytic activity. • Analyze results of polarization studies to develop a rationale for catalyst performance. • Evaluate promi...
متن کاملBifunctional anode catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells
Using the binding energy of OH* and CO* on close-packed surfaces as reactivity descriptors, we screen bulk and surface alloy catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation activity. Using these two descriptors, we illustrate that a good methanol electro-oxidation catalyst must have three key properties: (1) the ability to activate methanol, (2) the ability to activate water, and (3) the ability to re...
متن کاملFabrication and Evaluation of Pt/M (M= Co, Fe) Chitosan Supported Catalysts for Methanol Electrooxidation: Application in Direct Alcohol Fuel Cell
In this work, Pt, Fe and Co nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction of the metal salts in chitosan as the support. NaBH4 was used as the reducing agent Pt-Fe, Pt-Co and Pt-Fe-Co-chitosan nanocomposites were synthesized and characterized by UV–Vis spectra and Transmission electron microscopy images. GC/Pt-chitosan, GC/Pt-Co-chitosan, GC/Pt-Fe-chitosan and GC/Pt-Co-Fe-chitosan electrode...
متن کاملSelectivity of Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Membranes
Sulfonic acid-functionalized polymer electrolyte membranes alternative to Nafion(®) were developed. These were hydrocarbon systems, such as blend sulfonated polyetheretherketone (s-PEEK), new generation perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) systems, and composite zirconium phosphate-PFSA polymers. The membranes varied in terms of composition, equivalent weight, thickness, and filler and were investigat...
