Abstract: A ruthenium-copper (RuCu) nano-sponge (NSP) electrocatalyst for use in the electrolytic reduction of nitrogen to provide ammonia is described. The RuCu NSP can be prepared as a porous nanoparticle comprising a RuCu alloy via facile reduction of Ru and Cu precursors under ambient conditions. Electrodes prepared with surface disposed RuCu NSPs can be used to prepare ammonia from nitrogen with good yields and Faradaic efficiency at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to devices, systems, and methods of producing an improved fluid flow assembly and liquid/gas diffusion layer in solid polymer electrolyte electrochemical cells. In one aspect, a fluid flow assembly for a polymer electrolyte water electrolyzer includes a flow field having an inlet, an outlet, and a plurality of discrete lands arranged within the flow field. A liquid/gas diffusion layer is positioned in communication with the flow field between the inlet and the outlet, the liquid/gas diffusion layer having a solid substrate through which a plurality of pores is formed. The disclosed bipolar plate flow field and liquid/gas diffusion layer could work together or separately with other types of porous transport layers or bipolar plates to enhance the water/gas transport. In these configurations, the lands can be arranged and configured such that the plurality of pores are substantially unobstructed by the lands.
