Shape Selective Nano-Catalyst for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC) Applications
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have recently attracted much interest as a promising alternative to conventional batteries, especially in portable electronic devices. DMFCs, however, have several disadvantages including high cost, largely as a result of [...]
Poly(2,5-benzimidazole) Based Polymer Electrolyte Membranes for High Temperature Fuel Cell Applications
In this study, two methods, direct mixing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanos (POSS) with poly(2,5-benzimidazole) (ABPBI) and in-situ synthesis were employed to prepare ABPBI based composite membrane materials, respectively. The morphologies of pristine and composite membranes were [...]
Charge/Discharge Property and Cycle Life of Li4Ti5O12/LiCoO2-LiNi1-x-yCoxAlyO2 Cell for Electricity Storage Applications: Effect of Cell Design Parameters
In this work, Li4Ti5O12 has been used as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries for electricity storage applications, which operate under intermittent cycling conditions with higher charge/discharge rates than 4C (i.e., current extracting the full [...]
A Permselective Layered Silicate Modified by Acid-treatment and Its Use for Blocking of Methanol Crossover in DMFC
Layered silicates currently find uses in ion-exchange, adsorption, catalysis and fabrication of nanocomposites. Several layered silicates have channel systems or open frameworks within layers. They can be used to solve the problem for direct methanol [...]
Wirelessly powered miniature wearable vital signs monitor
In this work, we propose a novel system that employs a long range inductive link to recharge a small battery on-board a wearable device. One end of the link is integrated into the wearable device [...]

SkyBuilt Power is the leading renewable energy product integration company for high tech, hybrid, rapidly deployable power systems. SkyBuilt invented and provides a range of patented products using its advanced solar, wind, battery and other [...]
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell in the hybrid system – selection of the size and configuration
Based on the model, fuel cell size according to hybrid system is selected. The selection is made by using an optimizing process, in which both thermal-flow parameters and design parameters of the fuel cell were [...]
