Easy cell: The new polymeric ionomer TPQPOH with a tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphonium unit has excellent solubility in some low-boiling-point water-soluble solvents, high ionic conductivity, and outstanding alkaline stability. A hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell containing this exhibits increased peak power density reduced internal resistance. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed, but not...

Abstract Novel cost‐effective fuel cells have become more attractive due to the demands for rare and expensive platinum‐group metal (PGM) catalysts mitigating sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The high‐cost PGM catalyst in can be replaced by Earth‐abundant transition‐metal‐based catalysts, that is, an Fe–N–C catalyst, which is considered one most promising alternatives. However, performance hindered low catalytic activity poor stability, caused insufficient active sites...

The low conductivity of sulfur and the shuttle effect lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) are two intrinsic obstacles that limit application lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein, a vacancy introduced NiCo2 S4 nanosheet array grown on carbon nanofiber (CNF) membrane (NiCo2 S4-x /CNF) is proposed to serve as self-supporting binder-free interlayer in LSBs. conductive CNF skeleton with non-woven structure can effectively reduce resistance cathode accommodate volume expansion during charge-discharge...

Einfach besser: Das neue polymere Ionomer TPQPOH mit einer Tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphonium-Einheit ist in einigen niedrig siedenden wasserlöslichen Lösungsmitteln ausgezeichnet löslich, zeigt eine hohe Ionenleitfähigkeit und im Alkalischen außerordentlich stabil. Eine Hydroxidaustausch-Membranbrennstoffzelle diesem weist erhöhte Leistungsdichte einen verringerten inneren Widerstand auf.

The broad application of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) is impeded by the high cost catalysts, unsatisfied ionic conductivity polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM), and crossover. To address above issues, a unique strategy based on permeable fiber (PFM) nonplatinum catalysts was presented to achieve high-performance DMFCs. In this system, high-dispersed Pd/Co–CeO2/C methanol-tolerance NiCo2O4 were prepared used as anode cathode catalysts. Besides, PEM substituted an inexpensive PFM. As...

A three-dimensional Mn2O3@Co1.2Ni1.8O4 hybrid was synthesized via facile two-step processes and employed as a cathode catalyst in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) for the first time. Because of unique architecture with ultrathin porous nanosheets Co1.2Ni1.8O4 shell, this composite exhibits better electrochemical performance than pristine Mn2O3. Remarkably, it shows excellent tolerance, even high concentration solution. The DMFC assembled Mn2O3@Co1.2Ni1.8O4, polymer fiber membranes, PtRu/C...

Direct alcohol fuel cell technology (DAFC) has gained significant interest recently as it is a green energy with low/zero pollution emission. Nevertheless, the sluggish kinetics of electrocatalysis process and high cost anode catalysts still impede wide application DAFC. Moreover, limited understanding reaction mechanism restrains development catalysts. Here, we have prepared Pd-(SnO2@C)/C catalyst highlighted strategy to demonstrate effects active oxygen-contained species electronic...
