Novel hybrid serpentine-interdigitated flow field with multi-inlets and outlets of gas flow channels for PEFC applications

In our previous study, a novel flow field design for a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) called “Hybrid Serpentine-Interdigitated (HSI)” had been proposed. Although it was very promising in terms of performance and pressure drop, it still had a major drawback of the low oxygen concentration area. To improve its design and performance, three HSI configurations with different numbers of gas inlet and outlet, namely one inlet and one outlet HSI (1-IO HSI), one inlet and two outlets HSI (1I-2O HSI) and two inlets and two outlets HSI (2-IO HSI) were numerically investigated and compared with the conventional single channel serpentine (1S). The investigation on the cell performance and other transport behaviors has been carried out using CFD techniques via ANSYS FLUENT software. At a practical operating potential of about 0.6 V of 50 cm² PEFCs, the 2-IO HSI offered the best distributions of oxygen, current density and water due to the shorter channel length. More importantly, the 2-IO HSI could contribute to a reduction in cathode pressure drop by 90%, as compared with the 1S, resulting in the enhancement in the net power output by 6%, approximately.

Crystal-field engineering of ultrabroadband mid-infrared emission in Co2+-doped nano-chalcogenide glass composites

Tunable and ultrabroadband mid-infrared (MIR) emissions in the range of 2.5–4.5 μm are firstly reported from Co²⁺-doped nano-chalcogenide (ChG) glass composites. The composites embedded with a variety of binary (ZnS, CdS, ZnSe) and ternary (ZnCdS, ZnSSe) ChG nanocrystals (NCs) can be readily obtained by a simple one-step thermal annealing method. They are highly transparent in the near- and mid-infrared wavelength region. Low-cost and commercially available Er³⁺-doped fiber lasers can be used as the excitation source. By crystal-field engineering of the embedded NCs through cation- or anion-substitution, the emission properties of Co²⁺ including its emission peak wavelength and bandwidth can be tailored in a broad spectral range. The phenomena can be accounted for by crystal-field theory. Such nano-ChG composites, perfectly filling the 3–4 μm spectral gap between the oscillations of Cr²⁺ and Fe²⁺ doped IIVI ChG crystals, may find important MIR photonic applications (e.g., gas sensing), or can be used directly as an efficient pump source for Fe²⁺: IIVI crystals which are suffering from lack of pump sources.     

天然气新型气液分离器性能试验研究

为了解决天然气含有饱和水汽和少量烃降低输气效率、堵塞管线和设备等问题,利用旋风子、稳流元件、叶栅式分离元件、折流板式分离元件组合成新型天然气分离器。利用相位多普勒粒子分析仪对新型天然气分离器进出口粒子粒径与液态水含量的进行对比测试,以研究新型分离器的分离效率。结果表明:新型分离器具有良好的气液分离作用;在流量为10～64 m~3/h时,分离器的分离效率成抛物线形式,在33 m~3/h时分离器的分离效率降到最低值95.16%,主要原因是流量在33 m~3/h时,试验气液混合不均匀,导致内部流态紊乱,以至于试验测得分离效率相对偏低;在流量为10 m~3/h时分离器分离效率最高,为99.29%;分离器对该进口条件的气体中雾状液粒有较高的分离作用,且可以明显降低分离器出口气体中液粒的平均粒径;从进口到气相出口压力逐渐降低,总压降为950 Pa;流动区域速度梯度大不利于气液相分离,流动掺混会导致分离效率降低。

Magnetic field coupling microfluidic synthesis of Fe2Pt/C nanocatalysts for enhanced electrochemical catalytic oxidation of alcohol

The influence of magnetic field (MF) on electrochemical catalytic properties of carbon supported Fe₂Pt nanocatalysts is investigated. Nanocatalysts are produced through an external MF coupled microfluidic process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements show that Fe₂Pt nanocrystals (NCs) with larger sizes are synthesized when an external MF of 1.4 T is applied. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterizations confirm that more Pt²⁺ reduces to Pt⁰ and NCs grow larger under magnetic fields (MFs) than those without MFs. The increased coercivity indicates that more surface unpaired electrons are present and the surface spin configuration changes under MFs. NCs synthesized under MFs show better catalytic performance in alcohol electrochemical catalytic oxidation reactions compared to samples synthesized without MFs. The mass activities significantly increase by 1.10 and 1.24 times and the specific activity increases up to 1.11 and 1.26 times for methanol and ethanol oxidation, respectively, compared to those without MFs.
