Carbon‐supported catalysts of Pt, Pt/Ru, Pt/Ru/W, and Pt/Ru/Pd were evaluated for the electro‐oxidation methanol in phosphoric acid at 180°C. These characterized using cyclic voltammetry x‐ray diffraction. Addition Ru to a 0.5 mg/cm2 Pt catalyst (1:1 atomic ratio) caused large reduction polarization. The open‐circuit voltage was reduced by 100 mV polarization 400 mA/cm2 180 mV. A Pt/Ru (5:2) with same content lowered 70 Additions W form Pt/Ru/W (1:1:1, Pd (2:2:1), all platinum loading, gave...

Nafion membrane degradation was studied in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) under accelerated decay conditions. Fuel effluent water analyzed to determine the fluoride emission rate. Experimental findings show that formation of active oxygen species from decomposition or direct reduction reaction are not dominating mechanisms PEMFCs. Instead, occurs because molecular and react on surface Pt catalyst form membrane-degrading species. The source is reactant crossover through membrane....

An experimental program was conducted to determine the catalytic activity of high surface area platinum supported on carbon for electrochemical reduction oxygen in phosphoric acid. The Tafel slope at 160°C 96 weight per cent acid found be approximately 90 mV/decade. exchange current unit real same as that black or a flat sheet if effect electrode prepolarization is considered. Additional tests other temperatures indicated varies and similar sulfuric temperature. prediction double exists when...

The involvement of in the membrane degradation mechanism a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) was investigated. Measurement fluoride concentration effluent water used as an indicator rate. It found that is formed small concentrations but not main source harmful species, which degrade membrane. decomposition due to impurities or catalyst leading possible formation radical species would only account for fraction rate cell.

Nafion membrane degradation was studied in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) under accelerated decay conditions. Fluoride emission rate (FER) determined by effluent water analysis used to quantify the degradation. Membrane is most likely caused either directly or indirectly species formed as result of and reaction on catalyst. To further understand mechanism, effects catalyst location, type, its interaction with , current density FER were investigated their implications underlying...

The authors prove that several one-dimensional wave equations for electrons, phonons and light propagation have all their states or proper modes exponentially localised when the medium is disordered. Vanishing of DC conductivity obtained models describing electronic motion. exact spectrum these also explicitly. Bounds on localisation length are exhibited in some cases.

The ability to determine the state of charge vanadium solutions is critical understanding reaction mechanisms and transport dynamics. This paper describes in detail methods used generate quantitative concentrations three four species an all-vanadium flow battery. UV-Vis method was shown provide concentration values that were more reliable than using either electrode voltage or integrated current with respect time. Furthermore, a proposed bring battery system into balance by independently...
