1. Evaluating Cathode Catalysts in the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell
Sammanfattning : The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen (air) into usable electrical energy. At the cathode (the positive electrode), a considerable amount of platinum is generally required to catalyse the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). LÄS MER
2. Microphase Separated Cation Conducting Polymers : Design, Synthesis, and Properties
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the synthesis and properties of five different cation conducting polymer systems. These systems were designed so that the polymers would be able to microphase separate into distinct phases with one phase for mechanical strength and one for ionic conductivity. LÄS MER
3. Lithium Ion Conductive Membranes Based on Co-continuous Polymer Blends
Sammanfattning : There is a growing need for multifunctional polymeric materials for the development of several important energy conversion technologies. For example, the polymer electrolyte is a key component in lithium polymer batteries. The basic functions of this electrolyte are to efficiently conduct the lithium ions and physically separate the electrodes. LÄS MER
4. Intrinsically Proton-Conducting Benzimidazole Units Tethered to Different Polymer Chain Architectures
Sammanfattning : Proton transport is a fundamental process that can be found in many systems in nature, as well as in technical devices, such as fuel cells, electrochromic devices and various types of sensors. Fuel cell technology is considered as environmentally friendly because fuel cells are not limited by the Carnot cycle, and efficiently converts chemical energy into electrical energy which can be used for powering cars, laptops, buildings etc. LÄS MER
5. Electrochemical characterization of materials for next generation polymer electrolyte fuel cells
Sammanfattning : Polymer electrolyte fuel cells occupy a key position in implementing the hydrogen economy on a global scale. However, assessments of cost, availability and sustainability of materials currently used to manufacture state-of-the-art fuel cell stacks have given cause for concern. LÄS MER
