Why Hydrogen?
Modern civilization has grown reliant on plentiful, cheap and convenient energy from fossil fuels. Now, the reality of climate change has compelled us to reconsider our current ways of producing and using energy. The standardization [...]
Self-healing Composite Membranes for Fuel Cell Applications
Defects in the form of pinholes and cracks can occur in the membrane due to a combination of chemical and mechanical degradation mechanisms during operation of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. Such defects are [...]
Development of a highly durable anode support for solid oxide fuel cell
Mehran M.T., Song R-H, Lim T-H, Lee J.W., Lee S.B., Lee J.W., Lee S.B., Park S-J, Korea Institute of Energy Research, KR
Solid oxide fuel cells are well known to be highly efficient and clean energy conversion devices for stationary and portable power generation. The ceramics based SOFC’s operate at high temperatures (>700 °C) and the durability [...]
Particle/Polymer Nanofiber Mat Electrodes for Hydrogen/Air Fuel Cells
A new method of preparing fuel cell electrodes has been developed. Electrode mats composed of particle/polymer nanofibers work exceptionally well in a hydrogen/air fuel cell, in terms of power output and long-term durability. Abstract: The [...]
Thermochemical Copper Oxide – Copper Sulfate Water Splitting Cycle for Solar Hydrogen Production
H2 is considered as one of the potential energy carriers due to its capacity of producing 143 MJ/kg of energy (higher in comparison with the oil, gas, and coal individually) and its environmentally friendly nature [...]
Production of hydrogen from various feedstock options using non-thermal plasma catalyzed reforming
Ceramatec has developed a method for reformation of various hydrocarbons using a non-thermal plasma system to catalyze the reformation process. The plasma provides the same type of catalytic activity as a solid catalyst but since [...]
Graphene decorated metal nanoclusters as an effective novel catalyst for improving the hydrogen storage behaviour of MgH2
Abstract: High volumetric and gravimetric hydrogen density in MgH2 motivates significant research attention over the recent years to make it as a viable hydrogen storage material for fuel cell applications. However, the high thermodynamic stability [...]
