Alkaline fuel cell technology - A review
2021
Abstract The realm of alkaline-based fuel cells has with the arrival of anionic exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) taken a great step to replace traditional liquid electrolyte alkaline fuel cells (AFCs). The following review summarises progress, bottleneck issues and highlights the most recent research trends within the field. The activity of alkaline catalyst materials has greatly advanced, however achieving long-term stability remains a challenge. Great AEMFC performances are reported, though these are generally obtained through the employment of platinum group metals (PGMs), thus emphasising the importance of R&D related to non-PGM materials. Thorough design strategies must be utilise…
Experimental analysis of materials in proton exchange membrane electrolysis cells
2019
Abstract An accelerated supply and demand of energy has resulted in an increased need for efficient energy storage options, where storing energy in hydrogen gas emerges as one of the most attractive. In this study, a singular proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis cell was designed using adequately low-cost materials, and tested using polarisation curves, cyclic voltammetry and AC impedance. A comparative study of various micro porous layer (MPL) materials was performed in an effort to find suitable options which are able to steadily operate under anodic conditions. The best performance was achieved using carbon cloth, however this material was unstable. Untreated porous titanium and n…
