Abstract:
A polybenzimidazole based polymer in which substituted or non-substituted benzyl groups are introduced to the two nitrogen atoms of benzimidazole ring. The benzimidazole ring is not decomposed by the attack of hydroxide ions but shows excellent alkali resistance, and thus maintains high ion conductivity. The polybenzimidazole based polymers are particularly useful for not only solid alkali exchange membrane fuel cells (SAEMFC) but also various industrial fields in which polybenzimidazole based polymers are used.
Abstract:
A hydrogen production device is provided. The device comprises: a dry reforming reaction unit for directly reacting methane and carbon dioxide in biogas to produce a synthesis gas containing hydrogen; and a gas shift unit for reacting carbon monoxide in the synthesis gas produced in the dry reforming reaction unit with water vapor to produce carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and for capturing the produced carbon dioxide.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for supplying molten carbonate fuel cell with electrolyte and a molten carbonate fuel cell using the same, wherein a molten carbonate electrolyte is generated from a molten carbonate electrolyte precursor compound in a molten carbonate fuel cell and is supplied to the molten carbonate fuel cell.
Abstract:
By forming a structure wherein an oxygen ionic conductor or a mixed ionic-electronic conductor (MIEC) on a cathode surface is not covered by a molten carbonate electrolyte using an oxygen ionic conductor or a mixed ionic-electronic conductor having poor wettability on the molten carbonate electrolyte, a new electrochemical reaction site may be provided in addition to that provided by the molten carbonate electrolyte. As a result, cell performance, particularly cathode performance, can be improved even at low operation temperatures (e.g., 500-600° C.).

Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a dehydrogenation catalyst, the method includes: forming a functional oxide coating layer on a surface of a support with a first atomic layer deposition; and depositing metal particles on the surface of the support on which the functional oxide coating layer is formed, with a second atomic layer deposition.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a hydrogen generating apparatus and a hydrogen generating method, wherein the hydrogen generating apparatus generates hydrogen by dehydrating formic acid, and comprises: a reactor for containing water and a heterogeneous catalyst; a formic acid feeder for feeding formic acid into the reactor; and a moisture remover for removing moisture generated from the reactor.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an anode for a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) having improved creep property by adding an additive for imparting creep resistance to nickel-aluminum alloy and nickel as materials for an anode. Improved sintering property, creep property and increased mechanical strength of a molten carbonate fuel cell may be obtained accordingly.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an electrolyte membrane for a fuel cell including a polymer blend of a sulfonated polyethersulfone copolymer, hydroxyl group-containing polyethersulfone copolymer and a hydroxyl group-containing sulfonated polyethersulfone copolymer.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a homogeneous catalyst having a single phase of Perovskite oxide, wherein at least one doping element is substituted at site A, site B or sites A and B in ABO3 Perovskite type oxide so that the wettability with a liquid molten carbonate electrolyte may be decreased. The catalyst may have high catalytic activity, inhibit catalyst poisoning caused by creepage and evaporation of a liquid molten carbonate electrolyte, maintain high reaction activity for a long time, provide high methane conversion, and allow production of synthetic gas having a high proportion of hydrogen.
