(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 ...
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, ...
Ethanol crossover and direct ethanol PEM fuel cell performance modeling and experimental validation
(2006)
In the present work, a one-dimension, steady-state and single phase model is developed with the purpose of describing the mass transport within a PtRu/Nafion (R)-115/Pt membrane-electrode assembly and the performance of a ...
Simulation of the operation of a direct ethanol fuel cell anode
(2005)
Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) have motivated more and more interest in recent years due to the intrinsic advantages of ethanol such as its low toxicity, renewability, and its easy production in great quantity by the ...
Direct ethanol fuel cell anode simulation model
(2006)
The electrochemical behavior of a direct ethanol feed proton exchange membrane fuel cell (DEFC) operating under steady-state isothermal conditions at 1 atm at both anode and cathode sides is considered. A mathematical model ...
Direct alcohol fuel cells: A novel non-platinum and alcohol inert ORR electrocatalyst
(2008)
In the present investigation, a series of binary PdxFey/C electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was synthesized in a very short time by employing a pulse-microwave assisted polyol method. The physico-chemical ...
How far are direct alcohol fuel cells from our energy future?
(2007)
Direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) have been attracting more and more attention and interest during the last decade due to their simplicity, the easy handle and the high power density of the liquid alcohol fuels. However, ...
Investigation of the reaction of ethanol-steam mixtures in a YSZ electrochemical reactor operated in a fuel cell mode
(2006)
In the present investigation ethanol-water mixtures were directly fed to a yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrochemical reactor operated in a fuel cell mode and the preliminary results are presented and discussed. ...
