Development and characterization of a novel carbon fiber based cathode for semi-fuel cell applications

A direct borohydride–peroxide fuel cell using a Pd/Ir alloy coated microfibrous carbon cathode

“…For example, Zheng et al [4] showed that a 5 wt% Pt-coated platelet micro-carbon fibre structure was more active for oxygen reduction than a 5 wt% Pt-coated fish-bone carbon one. Other support materials such as microfibrous carbon electrodes coated with Pd/Ir, designed for the reduction of H 2 O 2 , have been used in a semi-fuel cells for underwater applications [5].…”

An Alkaline Al–H2O2 Semi‐Fuel Cell Based on a Nickel Foam Supported Co3O4 Nanowire Arrays Cathode

“…The system has an energy density up to 100 Wh kg -1 and has been successfully used to power a civilian UUV (HUGIN 3000). Medeiros and Bessette et al [3,10,[12][13][14] investigated Mg-H 2 O 2 semi-fuel cells using carbon fibre supported Pd-Ir as the cathode catalyst and demonstrated that the semi-fuel cell has an achievable energy density of more than 500 Wh kg -1 based on the weights consumed during discharge. Yang et al [15,16] …”

Preparation and electrocatalytic performance of Fe–N–C for electroreduction of H2O2

“…These fuel cells include direct borohydride-hydrogen peroxide fuel cell [1][2][3][4][5][6], metal-hydrogen peroxide semi-fuel cell [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], hydrazine-hydrogen peroxide fuel cell [14], and direct methanol-hydrogen peroxide fuel cell [15][16][17]. They generally have high energy density, high performance, compact design, and workability in environments without air.…”

“…They are (1) noble metals, such as platinum, palladium, iridium, silver, gold, and a combination of these [1,5,7,[10][11][12]; (2) macrocycle complexes of transition metals, such as Fe-and Co-porphyrin, Cu-triazine complexes [18,19]; (3) metallic oxide, such as cobalt oxide [6,20,21]; and (4) perovskite [22].…”
