Effect of several usually used carbon materials on Pd catalyst for formic acid electrooxidation reaction is studied by physical characterization and electrochemical measurements. New active sites are formed due to the Pd and carbon interaction which is con ...
A decision-support tool (ORES) in the form of a linear program is developed to determine the optimal investment and operating decisions for residential energy systems. It shows how energy conversion units such as a cogeneration fuel cell, a heat pump, a bo ...
Even though rail transportation is one of the most fuel efficient forms of surface transportation, the cost of fuel constitutes one of the major categories of very high operating costs for railroad companies. In the United States, unlike in Europe, fueling ...
Pt is the state-of-the-art anode catalyst in direct methanol fuel cells. Here we report that Ni2P promotes the activity and stability of Pt in electrochemical methanol oxidation. Nanoparticles of Ni2P and Pt were co-deposited on a carbon support and their ...
The direct formic acid fuel cell is an emerging energy conversion device for which palladium is considered as the state-of-the-art anode catalyst. In this communication, we show that the activity and stability of palladium for formic acid oxidation can be ...
Some fundamental challenges are shaping the world we live in, and the need for alternative materials and energies is one of the most prominent issues of this century, especially in the light of global warming and energy need. Another crucial point concerns ...
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 ...
Here we show that the transport properties and electrochemical performance of polyelectrolyte membranes are improved through the dispersion of chitosan-wrapped carbon nanotubes, for direct methanol fuel cell applications. Methanol permeability is reduced v ...
In the context of climate change mitigation, different alternatives to reduce the atmospheric CO2 emissions are; increasing the efficiency, switching to renewable resource and reduce emissions from fossil resources by CO2 capture and storage (CCS) . Hydrog ...
Abstract: Solid oxide fuel cells are able to convert fuels, including hydrocarbons, to electricity with an unbeatable efficiency even for small systems. One of the main limitations for long-term utilization is the reduction-oxidation cycling (RedOx cycles) ...
