Thermoanalytical studies on phases of D-mannitol
1993
Abstract D-mannitol exists in several polymorphic crystalline forms. The conditions of crystallization are not well-defined, and in some cases mixtures of the different forms are obtained. In the DSC study the different forms melted nearly at the same temperature (166±°C). The heat of fusion of the k form was lower than those of the other forms. With slow heating rate (2 ° C min ) the δ form changed to k between 140 and 165 °C. The crystallization of D-mannitol from the melt gave from one to seven peaks in the DSC between 95 and 126 °C depending on cooling rates and the amounts of sample.
Initial approaches in benchmarking and round robin testing for proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers
2019
Abstract As ever-increasing amounts of renewable electricity enter the energy supply mix on a regional, national and international basis, greater emphasis is being placed on energy conversion and storage technologies to deal with the oscillations, excess and lack of electricity. Hydrogen generation via proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is one technology that offers a pathway to store large amounts of electricity in the form of hydrogen. The challenges to widespread adoption of PEM water electrolyzers lie in their high capital and operating costs which both need to be reduced through R&D. An evaluation of reported PEMWE performance data in the literature reveals that there …
