(2007)
The effect of carbon dioxide on the chemical stability of a Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-delta cathode in the real reaction environment at 450 degrees C was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron ...
Electrocatalytic activity of Vulcan-XC-72 supported Pd, Rh and PdxRhy toward HOR and ORR
(2015)
Carbon-supported (Vulcan XC-72) Pd, Rh, and PdxRhy (20 wt%, x:y = 1:1, 3:1, 1:3) electrocatalysts are prepared according a modified pulse-microwave assisted polyol synthesis method and their electrocatalytic activity toward ...
The effect of cobalt oxide addition on the properties of gadolinium doped barium cerate
(2009)
In the present work the effect of cobalt oxide addition on the density and on the electrical properties of gadolinium doped barium cerate is investigated. A series of BaCe0.9-xGd0.1CoxO3-δ (?=0.00, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, ...
Understanding the electrocatalytic activity of PtxSny in direct ethanol fuel cells
(2011)
In the present work, the activity of PtxSny/C catalysts towards ethanol, acetaldehyde and acetic acid electrooxidation reactions is investigated for each one separately by means of cyclic voltammetry. To this purpose, a ...
A review of the most efficient low-Pt and Pt-free electrocatalysts for hydrogen PEMFCs
(2013)
The main target of the PEMFC's scientific community is to reduce the total Pt loading to ca. 150 g cm-2 MEA, maintaining simultaneously high PEMFCs performances. The last years, promising results have also been reported ...
Hydrogen production aided by new (1-x) SrTi0.5Fe0.5O3-delta-xCe(0.8)(Sm0.8Sr0.2)(0.2)O2-delta(MIEC) composite membranes
(2014)
In the present work, composite materials of the type (1-x)SrTi0.5Fe0.5O3-delta-xCe(0.8)(Sm0.8Sr0.2)(0.2)O2-delta (with x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1) are obtained by the two step solid state technique. Their transport ...
Two-step sequence for synthesis of efficient PtSn@Rh/C catalyst for oxidizing ethanol and intermediate products
(2012)
PtSn@Rh/C-HT catalysts were designed and synthesized by a two-step sequence synthesis: Rh was firstly deposited on the carbon support and then PtSn through microwave assisted polyol method, followed by the heat treatment ...
