- Formic acid (HCOOH) is one of the promising fuels for direct liquid fed fuel cells.
- Over the past few decades, interest in developing biomass-derived fuel has been increasing rapidly due to the decrease in fossil fuel reserves.
- Fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) are facing severe heat dissipation challenges because fuel cell stacks are required to operate at a narrower temperature range and higher heat dissipation than those in the internal combustion engine.
- 2D Materials Methods for storing and converting energy, including fuel cells, solar cells, and water splitting, often benefit from having materials with a large surface area.
- High temperature electrochemical devices, such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), will play a vital role in the future green and sustainable energy industries due to direct utilization of carbon-based fuels and their ability to couple with renewable energies to convert by-products into valuable fuels using solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs).
- Traditional seals for planar solid oxide fuel cells (pSOFCs) are rigid glass and glass-ceramic, which have caused the problem of being unable to replace malfunctioning components.
- Direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) have been extensively studied and considered as possible power sources for portable electronic devices and vehicles in the near future, but they still present many challenges.
- Molten carbonate direct carbon fuel cells (MC-DCFCs) are among the most promising devices for high-efficiency energy conversion and clean power generation from coal.
- Mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) ceramic membranes and high-temperature alloys are candidate materials for applications in high-temperature gas separation systems and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).
- Enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) that utilize glucose as fuel in a human body to produce electricity are being explored as promising alternatives to power implantable devices.
- Operating the PEM fuel cell in the dead-ended anode mode reduces the overall cost and complexity of the system but causes a voltage loss and carbon corrosion in the cathode catalyst layer due to hydrogen starvation in the anode.
