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 ...

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 ...

In the present work, several Pt-based anode catalysts supported on activated carbon XC-72R were prepared by using a novel method, characterized and tested. XRD analysis and TEM images indicated that all of anode catalysts ...

PdxRuy/C (x:y=1:2, 1:3, 2:1 and 3:1) electrocatalysts are prepared by a modified pulse microwave assisted polyol method and are studied for glucose electrooxidation in alkaline media. The effects of glucose's concentrations ...

In the present investigation, the electrochemically-assisted oxidation of benzene in a H2-O2 proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), for electricity and phenol cogeneration is studied. Experiments were carried out in ...

Direct alcohol proton exchange membrane fuel cells (DAFCs) have been under active and extensive investigation worldwide due to the easy handle of the liquid fuels, which can be directly fed to the anode compartment and ...

The limitation of fossil fuels deposits and the detrimental effects of their combustion emissions on the environment make it necessary to develop alternative technologies, such as fuel cells and use the renewable and ...

Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) belong to the family of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), in which ethanol is directly used as the fuel. In the present work, the main aspects related to DEFCs such as ...

In the present work several Pt-based anode catalysts supported on carbon XC-72R were prepared with a novel method and characterized by means of XRD, TEM and XPS analysis. It was found that all these catalysts are consisted ...
