Generating power from cellulose in an alkaline fuel cell enhanced by methyl viologen as an electron-transfer catalyst

Performance of a low-cost direct glucose fuel cell with an anion-exchange membrane

“…A silver/silver chloride electrode was used as the reference electrode. The three-layer air-breathing cathode was prepared as previously described [29]. …”

Direct Electricity Generation from Dissolved Cellulosic Biomass in an Alkaline Fuel Cell

“…The results of this experiment also confirmed that urea and thiourea could also be oxidized to generate electricity , with a quantity of electric charge of 48.8266 Coulombs. From calculations, the electricity generated from cellulose alone is 80.9972 Coulombs and the specific capacity of the cellulosic feedstock is 249.9933 mAh g −1 , which is more than sixfold higher than our previously reported (41.2192 mAh g −1 ) .…”

Enhanced electrocatalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles supported on functionalized graphene for methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction

“…The smaller impedance arc diameter and a more vertical straight line of Pt/MV-RGO than that of Pt/RGO indicate the faster charge transfer rate and ion diffusion behavior of the former. This might be ascribed to that the redox couple MV 2+ /MV +Å could used as a redox mediator to facilitate electron transfer, and the small size of those species benefits mass transfer [42].…”
