Further heat exchange of the effluent gasses with the entering methane fuel and air allows the cell to operate auto-thermally. Thus, the overall energy efficiency of the NGDCFC of natural gas to hydrogen and electricity approaches 100%. The NGDCFC is at least 20% more efficient than the ...
A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that directly converts a fuel to electricity by means of reactions on the surfaces of electrodes and transport of ions through an electrolyte. From:Reference Module in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences,2016 ...
Deregulation of the electric power industry and more stringent emission controls are stimulating investment into fuel-cell systems, which are virtually free from noxious emissions of nitrogen oxides normally associated with burning fossil fuels. They can convert chemical energy directly into electricity with...
Researchers have developed a low-cost ceramic fuel cell that could use natural gas to provide a home with both heat and electricity generated on site.
Zero-emission trucks will benefit from rapidly falling costs of batteries and fuel cells, which will enable their fast market diffusion. Industry and policy must prepare for battery-electric trucks with respect to their manufacturing and supply, adequate charging infrastructure and electricity grid expans...
The new and advanced hybrid fuel cell system, developed as part of WATT's collaboration with Peoples Natural Gas, the natural gas brand of Essential Utilities, ("Peoples") cleanly and efficiently converts natural gas to electricity through an electro...
From waste to electricity through integrated plasma gasification/fuel cell (IPGFC) system 来自 国家科技图书文献中心 喜欢 0 阅读量: 85 作者:G Galeno,M. MinutiIIo,A Perna 摘要: The waste management is become a very crucial issue in many countries, due to the ever- increasing amount of waste...
Fuel cells were invented in 1839 by Sir William Robert Grove, a Welsh physicist, and were later used by NASA to provide drinking water as well as electricity for space vehicles. Though early hydrogen misadventures (eg, the Hindenburg disaster) hindered fuel cell development for some time, recent...
A new solar-induced direct biomass-to-electricity hybrid fuel cell can operate on fuels as varied as powdered wood. The fuel cell, shown on the right, relies on a polyoxometalate (POM) catalyst (shown in the vials) which changes color as it reacts with light. Credit: John Toon ...
By contacting a solid oxide fuel cell to a microelectromechanical system inside an environmental electron microscope, the authors establish links between environmental conditions (gas atmosphere, temperature), cell voltage and atomic-scale structure. ...
