Huge Potential of Nanocrystals to Raise Efficiency in Fuel Cells

solid oxide fuel cell

The addition of extremely small crystals to solid electrolyte material has the potential to considerably raise the efficiency of fuel cells. Researchers at TU Delft were the first to document this accurately, and this week their second article on the subject in a very short time was published in the scientific journal, … Continue reading

Enzyme Cocktail Could Eliminate a Step in Biofuel Process

Percival Zhang

Tomorrow's fuel-cell vehicles may be powered by enzymes that consume cellulose from woodchips or grass and exhale hydrogen. Researchers at Virginia Tech, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Georgia have produced hydrogen gas pure enough to power a fuel cell by mixing 14 enzymes, one coenzyme, … Continue reading

‘Green’ Way to Generate Heat and Electricity With Use of Fuel Cells

SOFC fuel cell

The generation of electricity and heat with no pollution and with considerably less emission of the greenhouse gas CO2 sounds too good to be true. However, it is possible with the so-called SOFC fuel cells, which Risø has been conducting research into for over 20 years. The technology is now on its way to reach Danish and … Continue reading

Novel Fuel Cell Catalyst Lowers Need for Precious Metal

core shell catalyst

Fuel cells could create a breakthrough for electric cars, because refuelling them is fast and easy, just like your traditional gas guzzler. But there's an obstacle. Current fuel cells need platinum in order to work. And that's expensive. Now chemists from Copenhagen, Potsdam and Hanau have taken the first step towards … Continue reading

Hydrogen Fuel Cells-The Next Great Step In Fuel Saving Technology

Fuel Cell Schematic

The world in its run for progress and mechanization has almost exhausted all non-renewable energy sources that Mother Earth had provided. Global warming, depleted water sources and increased pollution have paused serious threat to the well-being of mankind. We are now looking desperately for renewable energy sources and … Continue reading

AC-DC Power Supplies And Currents

Air Fuelled Battery

Power Supplies can be divided into two types for electronic devices, linear and switching power supplies. A switching mode power supply has the same rating as a Linear Power Supply but will be a lot more complex and usually Switching Mode Power Supplies are smaller. A Linear Power Supply is used for high current devices. … Continue reading

You can use the saved money on many other important issues. However, before jumping into conversion of your gasoline-operated car … Continue reading

Fuel Cells Technology

Fuel Cell Schematic

Fuel cells are simple devices, containing no moving parts and only four functional component elements: cathode, electrolyte, anode and interconnect. Fuel cells are actually being used more widely than many people think. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices similar to batteries that directly convert chemical energy of a … Continue reading
