2. 1. Biomass-fuelled PEM FuelCell systems for small andmedium-sized enterprises

   Author : Tingting Guan; Per Alvfors; Mohsen Assadi; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PEMFC; renewable hydrogen production; biomass; hydrogen-rich gas; biomass conversion; anaerobic digestion; steam reforming; CO removal; gasification; sustainable energy system;

   Abstract : Biomass-fuelled proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) offer asolution for replacing fossil fuel for hydrogen production. Through using thebiomass-derived hydrogen as fuel, PEMFCs may become an efficient andsustainable energy system for small and medium-sized enterprises. READ MORE

4. 2. Evaluating Cathode Catalysts in the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell

   Author : Henrik Ekström; Göran Lindbergh; Anders Lundblad; Anthony Kucernak; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fuel cell; humidity; model electrodes; Nafion; oxygen reduction; PEMFC; platinum; polymer electrolyte; thin film evaporation; titanium oxide; bränslecell; fuktighet; modellelektroder; Nafion; PEMFC; platina; polymerelektrolyt; syrereduktion; tunnfilmsförångning; titanoxid; Electrochemistry; Elektrokemi;

   Abstract : The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen (air) into usable electrical energy. At the cathode (the positive electrode), a considerable amount of platinum is generally required to catalyse the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). READ MORE

5. 3. Materials Reliability in PEM Fuel Cells

   Author : Live Mølmen; Peter Leisner; Ulf Jansson; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fuel cell; PEMFC; Bipolar plate; Catalyst; Electrodeposition; Corrosion; Stainless steel; Accelerated stress tests; bränsleceller; PEM; bipolära plattor; katalysator; elektroplätering; korrosion; accelererad testning;

   Abstract : As part of the global work towards reducing CO2 emissions, all vehicles needs to be electrified, or fueled by green fuels. Batteries have already revolutionised the car market, but fuel cells are believed to be a key energy conversion system to be able to electrify also heavy duty vehicles. READ MORE

6. 4. Thin-Film Electrocatalysts for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells - Activity, Durability and Proton Conduction

   Author : Björn Wickman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nafion; thin film evaporation; PEMFC; platinum; titanium oxide; cathode; fuel cell; oxygen reduction reaction; electrocatalyst; proton conduction; model systems;

   Abstract : The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a potential technology for future energy conversion in sustainable energy systems. By using hydrogen from renewable energy sources and oxygen from the air, the fuel cell produces electricity with water as the only exhaust. READ MORE
