摘要:
A method of preparing a supported platinum and/or palladium electrocatalyst and the electrocatalyst produced thereby. The method comprises the contacting of an electrically conductive particulate support which comprises adsorbed polynuclear hydroxo complexes of platinum and/or palladium with a reducing agent. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
摘要:
A hydrogen generation device includes a liquid fuel chamber, a catalytic hydrogen generation chamber, a hydrogen collection chamber and separation elements between these chambers. Once a certain hydrogen pressure in the device is reached liquid fuel is substantially prevented from being catalytically converted into hydrogen, whereby the production of hydrogen is stopped until hydrogen is allowed to exit the device to lower the pressure therein. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
摘要:
Fuel cell system including a fuel cell assembly having an anode and a cathode. A fuel/electrolyte module includes a liquid fuel and/or a liquid electrolyte and/or components of the liquid fuel and/or the liquid electrolyte. A housing arrangement houses the fuel cell assembly and the fuel/electrolyte module. A system is used for transferring at least a part of the contents of the fuel/electrolyte module into the fuel cell assembly. A method is also disclosed of generating electrical power using a power system including at least one fuel cell unit having a fuel cell assembly and a fuel/electrolyte module arranged within a housing arrangement. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
摘要:
A solid fuel composition which is suitable for preparing a liquid fuel for a direct liquid fuel cell. The composition comprises at least one solid hydride compound selected from borohydrides, aluminum hydrides, and metal hydrides, and at least one alkaline compound selected from hydroxides of alkali and alkaline earth metals, Zn, Al, and ammonium. If placed in a direct liquid fuel cell and contacted with an aqueous liquid the composition dissolves gradually as the at least one hydride compound is consumed while the fuel cell is in operation. This Abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
