In line with previous studies we concentrate on the influence of the carbon support on the degradation of PEMFC catalysts. It is demonstrated that a mild etching of the graphitized carbon support can lead to an improved stability under accelerated stress tests targeting carbon corrosion....
fuel cell n. An electrochemical cell in which the energy of a reaction between a fuel, such as liquid hydrogen, and an oxidant, such as liquid oxygen, is converted directly and continuously into electrical energy. American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition. Copyright...
Jeon, Open-source computational model of a solid oxide fuel cell, Computer Physics Communications 200 (2016) 15–26. Does the new version supersede the previous version?:No Reasons for new version:This new version aims to account for additional electrochemical applications. Summary of revisions:The...
The University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) stated on Friday that it plans to develop a durable, low-cost, and high-performance electrochemical cell to convert natural gas and other methane-rich gas into methanol in partnership with FuelCell Energy (Nasdaq:FCEL),...
In summary, we elaborated on an approach that provides access to quantitative, three-dimensional data at nanometre resolution, allowing a detailed observation of the proton-exchange membrane fuel cell catalyst layer structure with all of its components. It was demonstrated that—although not completely...
(FAST for Fuel Cells) and it provides a performance and durability modeling toolbox with modes for steady-state and transient simulations that are critical to designing the MEA, unit cell, stack, and overall fuel cell system. FAST-FC also includes the capability to simulate drive-cycles, ASTs...
Learn how Simulink®, Simscape™, and Model-Based Calibration Toolbox™ are used to model a polyelectrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell system. Model a fuel cell using a physics-based approach that shows: Aspects of fuel cell electrochemistry ...
To help place future hydrogen refueling stations in locations where they can most efficiently serve customers, we identify the areas most frequented by the fuel cell vehicles. Daimler uses MATLAB, Mapping Toolbox, and Google Earth to create spatial histograms based on the vehicles’ GPS data and...
The vehicle in study is powered by a fuel cell and a supercapacitor bank that can be charged both from the fuel cell and from the load trough regenerative braking. The proposed strategies were tested using a FCHV model elaborated employing ADVISOR toolbox in Matlab. A comparative of the ...
The computational domain consisting of 20,889,600 cells in total and 6,144,000 cells for each fluid region was decomposed with the manual scheme along the channel length to ensure that each core held at least one cell of each region. This is, for now, one of the requirements of the ...
