Book Fuel Cell Technologies  State And Perspectives

Download or read book Fuel Cell Technologies State And Perspectives written by Nigel Sammes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-11-07 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuel Cells have become a potentially highly efficient sustainable source of energy and electricity for an ever-demanding power hungry world. The two main types of fuel cells ripe for commercialisation are the high temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and the low temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEM). The commercial uses of which include, but are not limited to, military, stand-by power, commercial and industrial, and remoter power. However, all aspects of the electricity market are being considered. This book has brought together a team of world-renowned experts in all aspects of fuel cell development for both SOFC and PEM in a workshop environment. The workshop held between June 6–10, 2004 was held in the capital city of the Ukraine, Kiev. The reason for the venue was that Ukraine is the third largest resource of zircon sands, a major source of material for the solid oxide fuel cell. Ukraine is looking at undertaking a very large effort in the solid oxide fuel cell arena, and hopes, one day, to be an international player in this market, and this book is an outcome from the workshop. The book focuses on the issues related to fuel cells, particularly the state-of-the-art internationally, the issues that were of particular interest for getting fuel cells fully commercialized, and advances in fuel cell materials and technology. The focus was on all types of fuel cells, but the emphasis was particularly on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), due to their importance to the host country. The book is an essential reference to researchers, academics and industrialists interested in up-to-date information on SOFC and PEM development.

Book Hybrid Deposition of Thin Film Solid Oxide Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers

Download or read book Hybrid Deposition of Thin Film Solid Oxide Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of vapor deposition techniques enables synthesis of the basic components of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC); namely, the electrolyte layer, the two electrodes, and the electrolyte-electrode interfaces. Such vapor deposition techniques provide solutions to each of the three critical steps of material synthesis to produce a thin film solid oxide fuel cell (TFSOFC). The electrolyte is formed by reactive deposition of essentially any ion conducting oxide, such as defect free, yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) by planar magnetron sputtering. The electrodes are formed from ceramic powders sputter coated with an appropriate metal and sintered to a porous compact. The electrolyte-electrode interface is formed by chemical vapor deposition of zirconia compounds onto the porous electrodes to provide a dense, smooth surface on which to continue the growth of the defect-free electrolyte, whereby a single fuel cell or multiple cells may be fabricated.

This book was released on 2000-10-31 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in the development of oxygen ion and mixed conductors is responsible for innovations in gas sensors, fuel cells, oxygen permeation membranes, oxygen pumps and electrolyzers. Commercialization has been impeded by material stability and compatibility issues, high fabrication costs and an inadequate understanding of the interfacial phenomena controlling the operation of the devices. Here, a group of experts cover all the key topical areas, ranging from fundamentals relating to (a) defects, electrochemical and interfacial processes, (b) catalysis, electrocatalysis and gas reforming, to design and fabrication, including (c) advanced electroceramic processing methods, (d) materials selection and optimization, (e) and applications including scale-up, commercialization and competitive technologies.

Book Chemical Vapor Deposition of Tungsten Carbide Films on Silicon and Carbon Substrates

Download or read book Chemical Vapor Deposition of Tungsten Carbide Films on Silicon and Carbon Substrates written by Kendra A. Beadle and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental and health concerns to reduce polluting emissions from combustion of fossil fuels, in addition to diminishing natural resources and the desire for sustainable development with renewable resources has driven the effort to develop fuel cell technology. In particular, there is an interest in the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) because of the desire to have an alternative fuel to hydrogen---the fuel used in all other fuel cells---especially for automobile and portable electronics applications. The current anode catalyst in the DMFC is a Pt/Ru alloy, which in addition to being expensive requires high loadings and is susceptible to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. The need to investigate alternative anode catalysts is the motivation behind the current work. Tungsten carbide has been identified as a potential alternative catalyst because of platinum-like behavior, chemical stability in acidic solution and resistance to CO poisoning.
