Meso-scale ceramic hotplates - A playground for high temperature microsystems

Paul Muralt, Thomas Maeder, Bo Jiang

This paper presents a mesa-scale low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) hotplate system. Using embedded thick-film platinum heaters, the hotplate has been able to operate at about 600 degrees C in a reliable manner, while its operating temperature can be ...

A low-temperature co-fired ceramic micro-reactor system for high-efficiency on-site hydrogen production

Paul Muralt, Thomas Maeder, Bo Jiang, Dimos Poulikakos

A ceramic-based, meso-scale fuel processor for on-board production of syngas fuel was demonstrated for applications in micro-scale solid-oxide fuel cells (mu-SOFCs). The processor had a total dimension of 12 mm x 40 mm x 2 mm, the gas reforming micro react ...

Multi-injection microstructured reactor for intensification of fast exothermic reactions: proof of concept

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber

Quasi-instantaneous exothermic reactions lead to the formation of unwanted hot spots even when carried out in conventional microstructured reactors (MSR) with tube diameter of 100 − 1000 μm. For this reason, alternative MSR designs are warranted to enable ...

Syngas generation from n-butane with an integrated MEMS assembly for gas processing in micro-solid oxide fuel cell systems

Paul Muralt, Thomas Maeder, Bo Jiang, Dimos Poulikakos

An integrated system of a microreformer and a carrier allowing for syngas generation from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for micro-SOFC application is discussed. The microreformer with an overall size of 12.7 mm × 12.7 mm × 1.9 mm is fabricated with micro-e ...
