Pt/GNP and Pt/GO catalysts were synthesized by microwave assisted chemical reduction support. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Brauner, Emmet and Teller (BET) analysis and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to investigate the microstructure and morphology of the as-prepared catalysts. The electrochemical surface area (ESA) was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV).

The Pt/GNP and Pt/GO catalysts were tested in 25 cm(2) active area single HT-PEMFC with H-2/air at 160 degrees C without humidification. Performance evaluation in HT-PEMFC shows current densities of 0.28, 0.17 and 0.22 A/cm(2) for the Pt/GNP, Pt/C and Pt/GO catalysts based MEAs at 160 degrees C, respectively. The maximum power density was obtained for MEA prepared by Pt/GNP catalyst with H-2/Air dry reactant gases as 0.34, 0.40 and 0.46 W/cm(2) at 160 degrees C, 175 degrees C and 190 degrees C, respectively.

Microwave synthesis method was selected to load Pt nanoparticles on both CNT materials. Prepared catalyst was analyzed thermal analysis (TGA), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and corrosion tests. TEM analysis proved that a distribution of Pt nanoparticles with a size range of 2.8-3.1 nm was loaded on the Pt/CNT and Pt/GCNT catalysts.

Polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane based Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) was prepared for observe the performance of the prepared catalysts. The synthesized catalysts were also tested in a HT-PEMFC environment with a 5 cm(2) active area at 160 degrees C without humidification. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using the microwave synthesis method as a fast and effective method for preparing high performance Pt/CNT and Pt/GCNT catalyst for HT-PEMFC. The HT-PEMFC performance evaluation shows current densities of 0.36 A/cm(2)0.30 A/cm(2) and 0.20 A/cm(2) for the MEAs prepared with Pt/GCNT, Pt/CNT and Pt/C catalysts @ 0.6 V operating voltage, respectively. AST (Accelerated Stress Test) analyzes of MEAs prepared with Pt/GCNT and Pt/CNT catalysts were also performed and compared with Pt/C catalyst. According to current density @ 0.6 V after 10,000 potential cycles, Pt/GCNT, Pt/CNT and Pt/C catalysts can retain 61%, 67% and 60% of their performance, respectively.

The structure of the Nafion/zeolite composite membranes are investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The introduction of zeolite particles into the Nafion matrix helps to improve the water uptake, proton conductivity and thermal stability of the nanocomposite membranes compared to the virgin Nafion membrane. The SEM analyses have proved the uniform and homogeneous distribution of zeolite in composite membranes. The composite membranes are tested in a single PEMFC with a 5 cm(2) active area operating at the temperature range of 75-120 degrees C and in humidified under 50% relative humidity (RH) and fully humidified conditions. Single PEMFC tests show that Nafion/zeolite composite membrane is more stable and also performed better than virgin Nafion membrane at low humidity condition.

BN was preferred because of its superior thermal robustness, high chemical stability, non-conductor property, and high plasticizer characteristic. The loading of BN in the composite membrane was studied between 2.5 to 10 wt%. The composite membranes were characterized using TGA, DSC, XRD, SEM, mechanical tests, acid doping/leaching, and proton conductivity measurements. The highest conductivity of 0.260 S/cm was found for PBI/BN-2.5 membrane at 180 degrees C. It has been determined that the PBI/BN-2.5 membrane has higher performance than the PBI membrane according to the HT-PEMFC tests performed with Hydrogen and dry air. The heightened HT-PEMFC performance can be ascribed to interactive effects between BN particles and the PBI polymer matrix. PBI/BN composite membranes show a good perspective in the high-temperature PEMFC applications.Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 49Comparative Study of Pv/Pem Fuel Cell Hybrid Energy System Based on Methanol and Water Electrolysis(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2019) Budak, Yagmur; Devrim, Yilser; Energy Systems EngineeringIn this study, we investigated the comparative analysis of a solar-fuel cell hybrid system based on water and methanol electrolysis.

Polyphenyl sulfone polymer (PPS) was sulfonated with trimethylsilyl chlorosulfonate in 1,2 dichloroethane at ambient temperatures. The degree of sulfonation was determined by 1H-NMR analysis. Sulfonation levels from 25 to 45% were easily achieved by varying the content of the sulfonation agent. The hybrid membrane was composed of the mixture of sPPS solution, PWA/silica particles. The structures of the membranes were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The composite membranes gained good thermal resistance with insertion of PWA/silica. SEM results have proven the uniform and homogeneous distribution of PWA/silica in hybrid membrane. The existence PWA/silica has improved the water uptake, proton conductivity and oxidative stability of hybrid membrane. Gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) were fabricated by ultrasonic coating technique. Catalyst loading was 0.4 mg Pt/cm(2) for both anode and cathode sides. The membranes were tested in a single cell with a 5 cm(2) active area operating at the temperature range of 70 to 120 degrees C and 100 and 30% relative humidity conditions. Single PEMFC tests performed at different operating temperatures indicated that sPPS/PWA/silica hybrid membrane was more stable and also performed better than pristine sPPS membrane. At the overall, the sPPS/PWA/silica hybrid membrane seems to be a promising alternative membrane for the possible utilization in PEMFC. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

By utilizing high resolution analytical surface characterization methods, the chemical states of elements are determined, and the presence of Co-N-x sites is confirmed. ORR activity of a Co-N/MWCNT is found to be auspicious. The maximum number of transferred-electron (n) and the diffusion-limiting current density (j(d)) are calculated as 3.95 and 4.53 mA.cm(-2), respectively. The catalyst is further evaluated under a single-cell test station. The test results show that the current and power density values of Co-N/MWCNT are found superior to those of the commercial Pt/C at the 150 degrees C and 160 degrees C (e.g., 57 vs. 69 mW.cm(-2) at 150 degrees C). Due to some stability issues, it is observed that the performance of the Co-N/MWCNT catalyst is slightly decreased while switching the temperature towards 180 degrees C.
