Correctly controlling a fuel cell system and maintaining correct operating conditions, particularly under dynamic load variations, is difficult without advanced, multivariable control systems. In order to design and implement such controllers, an appropria ...
Partially sulfonated poly(ether sulfone) (SPES) was prepared and electrospun to bead-free nanofibers. The obtained data from solution conductivity measurements and scanning electron microscopy illustrated that sulfonation leads to a drastic increase in pol ...
Due to their high specific energy and energy density, micro-solid oxide fuel cells1,2 (µ-SOFCs) are seen as one of the technologies that could help satisfying the continuously increasing demand for electric energy in portable electronic devices. The µ-SOFC ...
New types of triple-layer membranes were fabricated using multi-step impregnation of Nation in electrospun webs based on bead-free nanofibers of sulfonated poly(ether sulfone) (SPES). The results showed that the fabricated nanofiber-filled membrane owing t ...
This project involved the conversion of a British Waterways maintenance craft to a canal boat, powered by a combination of a solid-state hydrogen store, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell, lead-acid battery pack and a high-efficiency, permanent magne ...
Various sulfonated poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (SPPO)-polybenzimidazole (PBI) blend membranes were prepared and investigated as proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications. With increasing PBI content wate ...
A novel double layer proton exchange membrane (PEM) comprising a layer of structurally modified chitosan, as a methanol barrier layer, coated on Nafion (R) 112 was prepared and assessed for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications. Scanning electron m ...
Special high temperature micro-hotplates were investigated for their potential use as a technology platform for miniaturized solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). To evaluate the compatibility of these hotplates with typical SOFC materials and processing techniq ...
In this paper an investigation on the performance of a commercial Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell, installed at the laboratory of the University of Bologna, is carried out, taking into account the anodic exhaust management and its effects on the f ...
The introduction of hydrogen in transport, particularly using fuel cell vehicles, faces a number of technical and non-technical hurdles. However, their relative importance is unclear, as are the levels of concern accorded them within the expert community c ...
