  2. 21. Electrochemical evaluation of new materials in polymer electrolyte fuel cells

    Author : Björn Eriksson; Carina Lagergren; Göran Lindbergh; Rakel Lindström; Piotr Zelenay; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fuel cell; Pt-REM; Alloy catalyst; Multi walled carbon nanotubes; Bipolar plates; Water transport; Bränslecell; Pt-REM; Legerad katalysator; Flerväggade kolnanorör; Bipolära plattor; Vattentransport; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) convert the chemical energy in hydrogen to electrical energy and heat, with the only exhaust being water. Fuel cells are considered key in achieving a sustainable energy sector. The main obstacles to wide scale commercialization are cost and durability. READ MORE

  4. 22. Limiting processes in anion-exchange membrane fuel cells

    Author : Henrik Grimler; Göran Lindbergh; Rakel Wreland Lindström; Carina Lagergren; Marc Secanell; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; anion-exchange membrane fuel cell; hydrogen oxidation reaction; oxygen reduction reaction; water transport; physics-based modelling; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Fuel cells allow for converting chemical energy stored in hydrogen into electrical energy, with only heat and water as by-products. In a sustainable energy society, hydrogen may play an important role due to its ability to act both as an energy carrier and as a valuable chemical in the process industry. READ MORE

  5. 23. Iron-nitrogen containing carbon catalysts for oxygen reduction in fuel cells
