in the presented research, heat transfer of a mobile electrolyte alkaline fuel cell (afc) (which the electrolyte has cooling role of system) has been considered. proper control volumes of system with specific qualification have been chosen. consequently, heat and mass transfer in control volumes have been assessed. considerations on them and contributed models lead to approve a double tube heat...

A commercial PtRu/C catalyst postdoped with nitrogen demonstrates a significantly higher performance (~10-20% improvement) in the anode of an alkaline direct methanol fuel cell than an unmodified commercial PtRu/C catalyst control. The enhanced performance shown herein is attributed at least partially to the increased electrochemical surface area of the PtRu/C after postdoping with nitrogen.

Abstract Direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) has the advantages of low pollution emissions, easy to carry, and high energy density. However, development cells is limited due catalytic activity poor stability electrode catalyst materials. Precious metal aerogels not only have three-dimensional self-supporting network structures but also excellent properties precious metals, which very good efficienc...
