The performance of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) with membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs) made separately by three different catalyst coating methods, namely, air-spray, electro-spray and dual-mode spray, is evaluated. Platinum-ruthenium (PtRu) is incorporated as a catalyst for the anode. Several techniques (XRD, FE-SEM, and TEM) are used to examine whether the coating method affects the morphological features of the PtRu catalyst, whereas cyclic voltammetry is used to evaluate the active surface area. The cell polarization curves attained for the three coating methods that use different methanol concentrations are compared to determine the best method. It is found that the PtRu catalyst coated by the dual-mode spray shows the most uniform nanoparticle distribution and the highest active surface area. The DMFC performance is best when the dual-mode spray is employed (165 mW cm(-2) at 2 M methanol). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Spray pyrolysis-assisted synthesis of hollow cobalt nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst for the performance enhancement of membraneless fuel cells

Jungyeon Ji, Kyungmin Im, Heeyeon An, Sung Jong Yoo, Yongjin Chung, Jinsoo Kim, Yongchai Kwon

Summary: Hollow cobalt nitrogen-doped carbon (H-CoNC) is proposed as an anodic catalyst for membraneless hydrogen peroxide fuel cells (HPFC) and enzymatic biofuel cells (EBC), demonstrating superior catalytic activity for hydrogen peroxide oxidation reaction (HPOR) due to its porous and hollow-shell structure, along with a large amount of isolated Co atoms and coordinate bonds with Co and nitrogen (Co-N-4). The improved mass transfer to the active site results in enhanced current density at the bioanode and higher maximum power density (MPD) for both EBC and HPFC when using H-CoNC compared to conventionally synthesized catalysts.

Examining the effects of silicon based additives on the long-term cycling capabilities of cylindrical cells

Anmol Jnawali, Matt D. R. Kok, Francesco Iacoviello, Daniel J. L. Brett, Paul R. Shearing

Summary: This article presents the results of a systematic study on the electrochemical performance and mechanical changes in two types of commercial batteries with different anode chemistry. The study reveals that the swelling of anode layers in batteries with silicon-based components causes deformations in the jelly roll structure, but the presence of a small percentage of silicon does not significantly impact the cycling performance of the cells within the relevant state-of-health range for electric vehicles (EVs). The research suggests that there is room for improving the cell capacities by increasing the silicon loading in composite anodes to meet the increasing demands on EVs.

Towards understanding the functional mechanism and synergistic effects of LiMn2O4-LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 blended positive electrodes for Lithium-ion batteries

Dimitrios Chatzogiannakis, Marcus Fehse, Maria Angeles Cabanero, Natalia Romano, Ashley Black, Damien Saurel, M. Rosa Palacin, Montse Casas-Cabanas

Summary: By coupling electrochemical testing to operando synchrotron based X-ray absorption and powder diffraction experiments, blended positive electrodes consisting of LiMn2O4 spinel (LMO) and layered LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC) were studied to understand their redox mechanism. It was found that blending NMC with LMO can enhance energy density at high rates, with the blend containing 25% LMO showing the best performance. Testing with a special electrochemical setup revealed that the effective current load on each blend component can vary significantly from the nominal rate and also changes with SoC. Operando studies allowed monitoring of the oxidation state evolution and changes in crystal structure, in line with the expected behavior of individual components considering their electrochemical current loads.
