“…The presence of functional groups on the surface of GO and rGO is clearly visible when GO is examined by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the results of which are shown in Figure 3. In [65], functional groups related to graphite and rGO powders were investigated, from which the effect of oxidation on the properties of graphene can be determined. The graphite spectra in Figure 3 show a broad band in the 3000-3600 cm -1 region representing the valence vibration due to the presence of a hydroxyl group (O-H vibration).…”

“…It has also been found that the thin nanolayer of rGO folds together to form a thick bulk structure due to the presence of strong van der Waals forces between each layer [67]. The reduction of oxygen-containing functional groups increases the hydrophobicity of rGO-based samples owing to the reduction in oxygen concentration [61], but due to the high porosity of these samples, this cannot affect the electrical conductivity [65].…”

“…In [65], the effect of adding rGO and graphite to MPL by pressing on various properties of the GDL for which Toray carbon paper was used is studied. The study has demonstrated that MPLs based on rGO have a smooth and planar morphology as well as higher inplane electrical resistivity compared to graphite-based MPLs.…”

The global issue for proton exchange membrane fuel cell market development is a reduction in the device cost through an increase in efficiency of the oxygen reduction reaction occurring at the cathode and an extension of the service life of the electrochemical device. Losses in the fuel cell performance are due to various degradation mechanisms in the catalytic layers taking place under conditions of high electric potential, temperature, and humidity. This review is devoted to recent advances in the field of increasing the efficiency and durability of electrocatalysts and other electrode materials by introducing structured carbon components into their composition. The main synthesis methods, physicochemical and electrochemical properties of materials, and performance of devices on their basis are presented. The main correlations between the composition and properties of structured carbon electrode materials, which can provide successful solutions to the highlighted issues, are revealed.

The increasing global dependence on fossil fuels for energy has prompted researchers to explore alternative power generation sources that offer higher efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and low environmental impact. Developed countries have been making continuous efforts to reduce their reliance on depleting fossil fuel sources to curb carbon emissions. As a result, hydrogen has gained significant attention among researchers as a potential future fuel that meets all the necessary criteria. Many countries aiming for a hydrogen economy have invested in research on fuel cells. Among various fuel cells, the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has emerged as a commercially viable power source at a small scale. This paper provides an extensive review of the components, materials, design, operation, and integration strategies of SOFCs with existing thermal-based power plants. The performance and prospects of various SOFCs in standalone and hybrid modes are summarized, along with the limitations. Additionally, the research and commercialization efforts that can enhance the potential applications of SOFCs as a sustainable and reliable system in the long term are outlined.
