Development of carbon nanotubes catalyst supported for alkaline fuel cell technology

Abstract

Study of the development of an activated carbon nanotube catalyst for alkaline fuel cell technology. Through the prepared carbon nanotubes catalyst by an electrochemical deposition technique. Different analytical approaches such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine the structural properties and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), were used to characterize, Mesh stainless steel catalyst substrate had an envelope structure and a large surface area. Voltages were also obtained at 1.83 V and current at 3.2 A of alkaline fuel cell. In addition, study the characterization of the electrochemical parameters.

Review and Development of Anode Electrocatalyst Carriers for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell

“…[18,19] Nevertheless, the corrosion resistance of carbon black is poor, leading to the detachment of the loaded catalyst species. Therefore, research scholars have used modification and synthesis of new carbon-based materials (graphene, [20,21] carbon nanotubes [CNTs], [22,23] carbon nanofibers [CNFs] [24,25] ) to improve the original disadvantages of carbon-based materials. Among the noncarbon-based materials, metal compounds have been extensively studied, which are especially important to solve the problem of catalyst resistance to poisoning.…”
