... cells and metal–air batteries. Compared to acid-based proton exchange membrane fuel cells, alkaline fuel cells offer the possibility of faster kinetics and the potential use of less costly non-Pt-based catalysts [ 1–5 ]. To date, various kinds of electrocatalysts with high ORR activity in alkaline media...

.... While our previous work was done using Pd black and Pt black catalysts, we are able to move away from expensive Pt catalysts since an alkaline fuel cell is much less corrosive to non-Pt catalysts than Nafion ® fuel cells. Jiang et al. demonstrated a DFFC that operated using 60 wt.% Ag/C as cathode...

.... Alkaline fuel cells Cell design As one of the earliest fuel cell technologies that entered real applications, alkaline fuel cells (AFCs) have been used to power spacecraft since the Apollo-series missions and on space shuttles. However, they had very limited impact outside of space and naval...

...Sujith Mohan; S. O. Bade Shrestha Alkaline fuel cells are one of the low cost types of fuel cells. In this contribution, the performance of an alkaline fuel cell was investigated by varying different operational parameters. The cell was tested under four different electrolyte concentrations...

...Lea Mor; Zeev Rubin; Pinchas Schechner Open circuit voltage is an important parameter of fuel cells. Prior works have demonstrated that open cell voltages of alkaline fuel cells fueled with glucose reach saturation at high glucose concentrations ( 0.1 M – 1 M ) . At low concentrations, this voltage...

...J. A. Linnekoski; A. O. I. Krause; Jari Keskinen; J. Lamminen; T. Anttila Platinum and other platinum group metals, either as singles or in combinations, have been preferred for use in low temperature fuel cells, mainly alkaline fuel cells (AFCs), polymer membrane electrolyte fuel cells (PEMs...

...A. Verma; A. K. Jha; S. Basu The performance of an alkaline fuel cell (AFC) is investigated using three different fuels, e.g., methanol, ethanol, and sodium borohydride. Pt ∕ C ∕ Ni was used as anode, whereas Mn O 2 ∕ C ∕ Ni was used as standard (Electro-Chem-Technic, UK) cathode for all the fuels...
