Synthesis and characterisation of proton conducting membranes for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
For a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), the proton exchange membrane must conduct protons and be a good methanol barrier. In addition to the high methanol permeability achieved by these membranes, they are very expensive ...
Cesium hydrogen sulphate and cesium dihydrogen phosphate based solid composite electrolyte for fuel cell application
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
A new high temperature solid electrolyte composite was developed, with CsHSO4 and CsH2PO4 as the proton conducting material in composition with PTFE and SiO2 to enhance the solid electrolyte composites mechanical strength ...
Polymer/nano-organic composite proton exchange membranes for direct methanol fuel cell application
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The proton exchange membrane is one key component of direct methanol fuel cells, which has double functions of conducting protons, separating fuels and oxidant. At present, the performance and price of sulfonic acid proton ...
Characterization of platinum-group metal nanophase electrocatalysts employed in the direct methanol fuel cell and solid-polymer electrolyte electrolyser
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Characterization of nanophase electrocatalysts, which are an essential part in the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) and solid-polymer electrolyte (SPE) electrolyser, have been studied in this work. Their nanoparticulate ...
