Although fuel cells have been known for over 150 years, it is only in recent years that they
have been viewed as candidates for the dominant energy conversion devices in a variety of …

Rising energy demands, depletion of fossil fuel reserves, and environmental pollution have
fueled the search for energy conversion devices with high efficiency and low emissions. Fuel …

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells have the potential to alleviate major
problems associated with the production and consumption of energy. Fuel cells operate as …

To increase their electrochemically active surface area, catalysts supported on high surface
area materials, commonly carbons, are widely used in low-temperature fuel cells. Recent …

By comparing the performance of fuel cells operating on some low molecular weight
alcohols, it resulted that ethanol may replace methanol in a direct alcohol fuel cell. To …

The present paper gives an overview on the current development status of doped-diamond
electrodes for electrochemical applications. It starts with a short discussion on the different …

This research aims to investigate Pd-based catalysts as a replacement for Pt-based catalysts
for ethanol electrooxidation in alkaline media. The results show that Pd/C has a higher …

Polymeric materials find applications in almost all types of fuel cells (FCs). For example,
microstructural optimization of materials by poly (methyl methacrylate) microspheres in solid …

Abstract Development of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells throughout the
years is established through its component optimization. This is especially true of its catalyst …

Herein, an evident microstructure effect of MnO2 in the electrooxidation of methanol and
ethanol on Pt/MnO2/C electrocatalyst composite is reported. In this context, urchin-like MnO2 …
