A novel, physically strong, quaternary-ammonium-functionalised radiation-grafted ETFE alkaline anion-exchange membrane (AAEM) has been developed for application in fuel cells without undesirable addition of MOH into the anode fuel stream, thereby facilitating stable performances and long term operational lifetimes. A promising H2/O2 fuel cell peak power performance of 130 mW cm -2 was obtained ...

The realm of alkaline-based fuel cells has with the arrival anionic exchange membrane (AEMFCs) taken a great step to replace traditional liquid electrolyte alkaline (AFCs). following review summarises progress, bottleneck issues and highlights most recent research trends within field. activity catalyst materials greatly advanced, however achieving long-term stability remains challenge. Great AE...

Abstract In this study, the effect of mesopores in Marimo nanocarbon (MNC) anode material on power generation performance a direct glucose fuel cell was investigated. Three types MNC with different mesopore distributions were used for catalyst support material; Pt as loaded metal. test, containing many pores approximately 35 nm showed highest maximum output density 0.72 mW cm−2 at 5 wt% metal l...

The performance of an alkaline fuel cell is investigated using three different fuels, e g., methanol, ethanol and sodium borohydride. Pt/C/Ni was used as anode whereas Mn/C/Ni was used as standard (Electro-Chem-Technic, UK) cathode for all the fuels. Thus, the alkaline fuel cell is used for multi-fuel system. Fresh mixture of electrolyte, potassium hydroxide (5M), and fuel (2M) was fed to and w...

A new high peak power density alkaline fuel cell ~FC! was fabricated using a metal hydriding ~MH! alloy as the anode electrocatalyst and manganese dioxide as the cathode electrocatalyst. The high-loading MH and MnO2 electrocatalysts not only gave a satisfactory steady-state power output, but also deliver additional power stored in the charged MH and MnO2 electrodes when the overall cell voltage...

An enzyme fuel cell employing a carbon cloth electrode and bacterial FAD dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH) based on the direct electron transfer principle was constructed, and its scalability and cellulolytic sugar conversion were investigated. FADGDH was immobilized on the carbon cloth electrode together with carbon paste to form a multi-module type enzyme fuel cell by combining platinu...
