  2. 1. Electrochemical characterisation of porous cathodes in the polymer electrolyte fuel cell

    Author : Frédéric Jaouen; KTH; []
    Keywords : polymer electrolyte fuel cell; cathode; mass transport; porous electrode; modelling; agglomerate model; electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; current interrupt; transient techniques; non-noble catalysts;

    Abstract : Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) convert chemicalenergy into electrical energy with higher efficiency thaninternal combustion engines. They are particularly suited fortransportation applications or portable devices owing to theirhigh power density and low operating temperature. READ MORE

  4. 2. Transition metal ion-chelating ordered mesoporous carbons as noble metal-free fuel cell catalysts

    Author : Johanna Dombrovskis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mesoporous materials; electrocatalysis; EXAFS spectroscopy; fuel cell; transition metals; carbon;

    Abstract : Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells offer promising possibilities for clean and efficient chemical to electrical energy conversion, though their high price makes them financially unappealing. This is to a large part due to the high cost of the noble metal catalyst used in fuel cells, which makes development of new, cheap and active catalyst materials necessary. READ MORE

  6. 4. Quaternized fluorene-based hydroxide exchange membranes and polymers: design, synthesis, and characterization

    Author : Andrit Allushi; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; anion exchange membrane; hydroxide conductivity; alkaline stability; water electrolyzer; fuel cell;

    Abstract : In modern society, the consumption of fossil fuels has been increasing drastically, leading to significant emissions of carbondioxide (CO2), air pollution, global warming, and political and economic imbalances. This has increased the interest inrenewable and sustainable energy sources such as wind- and hydropower, solar energy, and in energy conversion by fuel celltechnology, and water electrolyses.
