  2. 1. Investigations of proton conducting polymers and gas diffusion electrodes in the polymer electrolyte fuel cell

    Author : Peter Gode; Göran Lindbergh; Steven Holdcraft; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical chemistry; polymer electrolyte fuel cell; proton conducting membrane; porous electrode; gas permeability; degradation; water transport; Teoretisk kemi; Theoretical chemistry; Teoretisk kemi;

    Abstract : Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) convert the chemically bound energy in a fuel, e.g. hydrogen, directly into electricity by an electrochemical process. Examples of future applications are energy conversion such as combined heat and power generation (CHP), zero emission vehicles (ZEV) and consumer electronics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Development and Characterisation of Cathode Materials for the Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell

    Author : Athula Wijayasinghe; KTH; []
    Keywords : molten carbonate fuel cell MCFC ; MCFC cathode; LiFeO2-LiCoO2-NiO ternary compositions; electrical conductivity; porous gas diffusion electrodes; polarization; electrochemical performance; post-cell characterization;

    Abstract : Among the obstacles for the commercialization of the MoltenCarbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC), the dissolution of thestate-of-the-art lithiated NiO cathode is considered as aprimary lifetime limiting constraint. Development ofalternative cathode materials is considered as a main strategyfor solving the cathode dissolution problem. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microstructure in SOFC: electrochemical simulations and experiments

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solid oxide fuel cell; Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; 3D reconstruction; Tortuosity; Electrochemical kinetics; Multiphysics; Thermal stress;

    Abstract : Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are highly efficient and environmentally friendly power sources that convert chemical energy directly into electricity and heat, without the need for combustion. Despite their many benefits, the performance and durability of SOFCs heavily depend on the quality of their porous anode and cathode components. READ MORE
