Fuel cell performance is determined by the complex interplay of mass transport, energy transfer and electrochemical processes. The convolution of these processes leads to spatial …
A new type of composite ion-exchange membrane of sulfonated polyethersulfone (sPES) and sulfonated mesoporous silica (SS) was synthesized by dispersing inorganic SS nanoparticles …
Organo-functionalized FDU-12 type silicas exhibiting large pore sizes and ordered mesoporous structures were synthesized at low reaction (15 °C) and high hydrothermal (160 °C) …
In this work, a Matlab Simulink© model was developed to analyse and predict the performance of a metal doped silica membrane reactor for H2 production via both the high and low …
A significant proportion of power generation stems from coal-combustion processes and accordingly represents one of the largest point sources of CO2 emissions worldwide. Coal power …
Polymer electrolyte fuel cell systems are increasingly being used in applications requiring an inverter to convert the direct current (DC) output of the stack to an alternating …
Cobalt-doped silica membranes were synthesized using tetraethyl orthosilicate-derived sol mixed with cobalt nitrate hexahydrate. The cobalt-doped silica structural characterization …
In this paper, we report the successful synthesis of amine-functionalized FDU-12-type mesoporous silica with a very large pore (30.2 nm) and a highly ordered mesostructure by using …
In this work we investigate the performance of cobalt silica membranes for the separation of gas mixtures at various temperatures and partial pressures. The membranes were prepared …
Cobalt silica membranes were fabricated using sol–gel techniques for separation of H2 in a membrane reactor set up for the low temperature (up to 300 °C) water gas shift (WGS) …
