One of the future technologies for energy supply in the electricity and automotive industries is the use of fuel cells. Hydrogen is the main source of fuel in fuel cells. Methane reforming through partial oxidation of methane is one of the methods of hydrogen production. In this paper, this process for the production of hydrogen gas, which is the energy source of these fuel cells, is examined n...

abstract part one: the electrode oxidation potentials of a series of eighteen n-hydroxy compounds in aqueous solution were calculated based on a proper thermodynamic cycle. the dft method at the level of b3lyp-6-31g(d,p) was used to calculate the gas-phase free energy differences ,and the polarizable continuum model (pcm) was applied to describe the solvent and its interaction with n-hydroxy ...
