Hydrothermal synthesis of uniform porous carbon nanospheres and their gas storage capacity
Highly porous nano carbon materials have been widely developed due to their advanced physical characteristics such as morphology, light weight, but more interestingly the possibility of designing the level of porosity as well as the [...]
Electrocatalytic activity of core-shell carbon-metal nanocomposites derived from carbon dioxide
The polymer electrolyte fuel cells(PEFCs) have demonstrated one of promising devices to convert chemical energy of fuels with high energy efficiency, high power density, and low environment impact. Despite wide applications in many areas, the [...]
Catalytic Performance Enhancement by Low Temperature Plasma Treatment
Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell electrocatalysts are composed of noble metals (e.g. platinum), which are scarce and expensive. A simple plasma-surface modification method is described to increase the performance of PEM fuel cell catalytic [...]
Tuning of Nafion® by HKUST-1 as coordination network to Enhance Proton Conductivity for Fuel Cell Applications
MOFs have highly ordered structures and modular nature that can serve as a scaffold to anchor acidic groups and improve efficient proton transfer pathways. HKUST-1, a MOF material containing CuII–paddle wheel type nodes and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate [...]
Gasification Technology Developed for the Production of Renewable Hydrogen
Hydrogen fuels from renewable sources are considered some of the most promising alternative fuels for reducing oil consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and air pollution. Sierra Energy’s FastOx technology is a fixed-bed gasification system that breaks [...]
Renewables-source Hydrogen Systems: Alternatives to Electricity for Transmission, Storage, and Integration
Electricity systems will be inadequate to humanity's urgent task of rebuilding its largest industry -- energy -- from ~85% fossil today to 100% renewable sources by Year 2100. To supply all energy, from all sources [...]
