Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFCs) are used today commercially for power production. More recently they have also been considered carbon capture from industrial and generation CO 2 sources. In this newer application context, our recent studies shown that at low /H O cathode gas ratios, water supplements in the electrochemical process to generate but not . We now report direct Raman observation...

Abstract In the present paper, we demonstrate how modifications of microstructure and chemical composition can influence electrochemical behavior cathodes for molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs). Based on our experience, designed new MCFC cathode microstructures combining layers made porous silver, nickel oxide or foam to overcome common issues with internal resistance cell. The standard NiO ma...

The increasing share of renewables in energy systems requires storage technologies to handle intermittent sources and varying sinks. Liquid air (LAES) is a promising technology since it has high density not geographically constrained. A relatively round-trip efficiency (RTE) obtained by using hot cold recovery cycles the LAES. In this work, seven cases related different are optimized compared f...

Fuel cell technologies have several applications in stationary power production, such as units for primary generation, grid stabilization, systems adopted to generate backup power, and combined-heat-and-power configurations (CHP). The main sectors where fuel cells been employed are (a) micro-CHP, (b) large applications, (c) UPS, IPS. size is strongly related the needed from load. Since this sec...

Minimal residual disease (MRD) refers to the small number of malignant cells that remain after therapy when the patient is in remission and shows no symptoms or overt signs of disease. Current treatment protocols for haematological malignancies allow most patients to obtain some form of MRD state, but cure seldom follows and in most cases fatal relapses occur sooner or later, leaving a bitter i...

Fuel cell gas turbine hybrid systems have achieved ultra-high efficiency and ultra-low emissions at small scales, but have yet to demonstrate effective dynamic responsiveness or base-load cost savings. Fuel cell systems and hybrid prototypes have not utilized controls to address thermal cycling during load following operation, and have thus been relegated to the less valuable base-load and peak...
