13. Synthesis of the Perovskite-Type BaCe0.8Pr0.05Cu0.15O3-δ via EDTA-Citrate
BaCeO3-based ceramics are ionic and electronic conductors that can be applied to oxygen sensors, solid oxide fuel cells and oxygen permeable membranes. However, the low chemical stability at high temperatures of these materials motivates studies involving doping of A and/or B sites of the perovskite structure. In this context, the present work aimed to synth

14. Ethylene glycol oxidation on ternary PtRhNi/C electrocatalyst with different metal compositions
ABSTRACT Direct Alcohol Fuel Cells (DAFC’s) are an alternative to fuel cell systems and when is used alkaline medium this has an increase performance. The alkaline direct alcohol fuel cells (ADAFC's) have some advantages such as low-emission, high energy efficiency, improved oxidation kinetics, low crossover and in addition there is a broad range of materi

15. Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Properties of Ni57Nb33Zr5Co5 Metallic Glass
The Ni57Nb33Zr5Co5 metallic glass is a promising alloy for bipolar plates in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. It is important to know which phase forms in this alloy under different cooling rates in order to understand its influence on the thermal stability and mechanical properties. In this work, melt-spun ribbons and rod samples with 1, 2 and 3 mm diam

16. Optimization of spin-coated electrodes for electrolyte-supported solid oxide fuel cells
ABSTRACT Electrodes for electrolyte-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC's) were fabricated by spin coating. Strontium-doped lanthanum manganite (LSM) cathode and nickel yttria-stabilized zirconia cermet anodes were synthesized and processed for enhanced deposition conditions. The influence of electrode microstructural parameters was investigated by a syst

17. Evaluation of nickel and copper catalysts in biogas reforming for hydrogen production in SOFC
ABSTRACT The solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) enable the efficient generation of clean energy, fitting the current requirements of the growing demand for electricity and for the environment preservation. When powered with biogas (from digesters of municipal wastes), the SOFCs also contribute to reduce the environmental impact of these wastes. The most suitable

19. Effect of La 0.8 Sr 0.2 MnO 3 powder addition in the precursor solution on the properties of cathode films deposited by spray pyrolysis
ABSTRACT Films of lanthanum strontium manganite, LSM (La0.8Sr0.2MnO3) were deposited on yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates by different methods aiming to establish the most suitable route to prepare cathodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Samples were obtained by using a solution of lanthanum, strontium and manganese nitrates or a dispersion of

20. Adaptation behaviour of bacterial species and impact on the biodegradation of biodiesel-diesel
Abstract Two bacteria, namely Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were exposed to different concentrations of diesel to increase their adaptation to the fossil fuel, and were used for the degradation of diesel-biodiesel blends. The biodegradation rate was evaluated using the redox indicator 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) test and gravimetric

21. MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THE ELECTRIC CURRENT GENERATION IN A MICROBIAL FUEL CELL INOCULATED WITH MARINE SEDIMENT
Abstract Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are electrochemical devices that utilize the ability of some microorganisms to oxidize organic matter and transfer electrons resulting from their metabolism to an insoluble acceptor. The goal of the present study was to model the kinetics of electrical current generation from an MFC inoculated with marine sediment. For thi

22. Estimating the Time-Dependent Performance of Nanocatalysts in Fuel Cells Based on a Cost-Normalization Approach
Researchers have developed new catalysts for fuel cells (FC), whose performances are compared after applying different normalization procedures. However, there is not a standard procedure. The current produced from CO electrooxidation was compared for Pt4Ru5Sn1/C and homemade Pt/C nanoparticles (NPs) normalized by different methods and the use of different m

23. Energy generation in a Microbial Fuel Cell using anaerobic sludge from a wastewater treatment plant
ABSTRACT In microbial fuel cells (MFCs), the oxidation of organic compounds catalyzed by microorganisms (anode) generates electricity via electron transfer to an external circuit that acts as an electron acceptor (cathode). Microbial fuel cells differ in terms of the microorganisms employed and the nature of the oxidized organic compound. In this study, a co

24. IN SITU PREPARED TiO2 NANOPARTICLES CROSS-LINKED SULFONATED PVA MEMBRANES WITH HIGH PROTON CONDUCTIVITY FOR DMFC
Organic/inorganic membranes based on sulfonated poly(vinyl alcohol) (SPVA) and in situ prepared TiO2 nanoparticles nanocomposite membranes with various compositions were prepared to use as proton exchange membranes in direct membrane fuel cells. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was sulfonated and cross-linked separately by 4-formylbenzene-1,3-disulfonic acid disodi
