The direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) is recognized as a promising power source for its high electromotive force, easy storage and transport. However, performance low the cost high, which are known to originate from sluggish oxidation (FAO) kinetics poor mass transport within DFAFC anode. Here, we present new anode design with thin, porous, 3D-structured catalyst layer based on self-assembled jointed Pd polyhedra in-situ grown gas diffusion surface. provide highly active interfaces...
Fundamental insights into the mechanism of breakaway oxidation in Fe9Cr1Mo steel are deduced, through advanced characterisation and modelling. Degradation at 600 °C/∼42 bar CO2 for ∼20,000 h is emphasised: conditions relevant to components such as finned superheater tubes used gas-cooled nuclear reactors. It shown that sufficient cause carbon saturation metallic substrate, confirmed by direct observation extensive carbide precipitation but also numerical analysis transport. Thus graphite...
Abstract Generation of uniform micro‐particles containing (i) pure lactose; (ii) silica nanoparticles and (iii) nanoparticles/lactose doped with Eu(III) have been successfully achieved using a novel spray dryer uniquely designed microfluidic aerosol nozzle as the monodisperse droplet generator. Here we investigate impacts precursor compositions concentrations, well drying temperature profile on particle size, morphology, surface element distribution. Distinct morphologies are observed...
A clear understanding of catalytic activity enhancement mechanisms in fuel cell operation is necessary for a full degree translation the latest generation non-Pt/C electrocatalysts into high-performance electrodes proton-exchange membrane cells (PEMFCs). In this work, PtNi nanowire (NW) array gas diffusion (GDEs) are fabricated from Pt NW arrays with Ni impregnation. 2.84-fold improvement oxygen reduction reaction observed GDE (cf. GDE) using half-cell measurement 0.1 M HClO4 aqueous...
This study used high-speed synchrotron X-ray tomography to image the growth of Al2Cu intermetallic compounds in 4D (3D plus time) during solidification Al-45wt%Cu alloy. Two categories patterns (basic units and dendrites) are identified. Basic elongated rods whose cross-section L, U or hollow-rectangular shapes. The transition from L pattern finally shaped morphology is observed. Faceted dendritic include equiaxed prism columnar dendrites. Self-repeated layer-by-layer stacking basic (such as...
