Newly-designed ternary Pt/PdCu nanoboxes on three-dimensional graphene framework (Pt/PdCu/3DGF) have been fabricated via a dual solvothermal strategy. This structurally well-defined Pt/PdCu/3DGF system possesses an approximately 4-fold improvement in catalytic activity for ethanol oxidation in alkaline media over the commercial 20% Pt/C catalyst as normalized by the total mass of active metals,...

This paper develops a new set-membership estimation algorithm for the identification of time-varying parameters in linear models, where both additive and multiplicative uncertainties are considered explicitly. We show that a recursive algorithm we develop is capable of providing nonconservative approximations to the feasible solution set. Examples are considered to demonstrate the utility and e...

A new class of dual metal and N doped carbon catalysts with well-defined porous structure derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been developed as a high-performance electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Furthermore, the microbial fuel cell (MFC) device based on the as-prepared Ni/Co and N codoped carbon as air cathode catalyst achieves a maximum power density of 4335.6...

Two-stage gasification allows power production from biomass and waste with high efficiency. The process involves pyrolysis at about 550°C followed by heating of the pyrolysis gas to about 1300°C in order to crack hydrocarbons and obtain syngas, a mixture of H2, CO, H2O and CO2. The second stage produces soot as unwanted by-product. Experimental results are reported on the suppression of soot fo...
