1. The Impact of Hydrocarbon and Carbon Oxide Impuritiesin the Hydrogen Feed of a PEM Fuel Cell
Abstract : The proton exchange membrane fuel cell generates electricity from hydrogen and oxygen (from air) through electrocatalytic reactions in an electrochemical cell. The Pt/C catalyst, commonly used in PEM fuel cells, is very sensitive to impurities that can interact with the active catalyst sites and limit fuel cell performance. READ MORE

2. Electrochemical Reactions in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Abstract : The polymer electrolyte fuel cell converts the chemical energy in a fuel, e.g. hydrogen or methanol, and oxygen into electrical energy. The high efficiency and the possibility to use fuel from renewable sources make them attractive as energy converters in future sustainable energy systems. READ MORE

3. On Gas Contaminants, and Bipolar Plates in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Abstract : The proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through two electrocatalytic reactions. The most common catalyst used is platinum on carbon (Pt/C), which has shown the best performance in the fuel cell until now. READ MORE

4. Three Dimensional Determinations of Inclusions in Ferroalloys and Steel Samples
Abstract : As the requirements on material properties increase, there has been a demand on an additional knowledge on the effect of impurities in the ferroalloyson the steel cleanness. Thus, the number, morphology, size and composition of inclusions in sixdifferent ferroalloys (FeTi, FeNb, FeSi,SiMn, LC and HC FeCr) were investigatedin this study. READ MORE

5. Methanol and formic acid oxidising anodes in zinc electrowinning
Abstract : Electrowinning is an energy demanding process, in which the electrolysis accounts for the major part of the energy consumption. The anodic reaction in the electrolysis of zinc from sulphate based electrolytes is oxygen evolution, which has a standard potential of 1.23 V at 25 ºC. READ MORE
