Nowadays, hydrogen and methanol are attractive prospects because of lower emission compared to the other energy sources and their special application in fuel cell technology, which are now widely regarded as key energy solution for the 21st century. These two chemicals also can be utilized in transportation, distributed heat and power generation and energy storage systems. In this study, a nove...

The proton exchange membrane (PEMFC) fuel cell represents the energy of the future, in parallel with hydrogen. However, this technology must meet many technical challenges related to performance and durability before being sold on a large scale. It is well known that these challenges are closely linked to water management. This paper develops and implements a model of PEM fuel for simulation to...

Membrane fouling, which is a key obstacle in implementing membrane technology, has been studied extensively for aqueous feeds. With increasing interests organic solvent applications, corresponding effort on understanding fouling warranted. This study employs molecular dynamics simulations to unveil the mechanisms underlying different adsorption behaviors of dextran onto polyacrylonitrile (PAN) ...

Inkjet printing is a versatile, contactless and accurate material deposition technology. The present work focused on developing innovative strategies for inkjet of Catalyst-Coated Membranes (CCM) by performing Additive Manufacturing (AM) applied to Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), without resorting intermediate substrates. Three different approaches AM are presented discussed: a...

Membrane science and technology has led to significant innovation in both processes and products over the last few decades, offering interesting opportunities in the design, rational‐ ization, and optimization of innovative production processes. The most interesting develop‐ ment for industrial membrane technology depends on the capability to integrate various membrane operations in the same in...
