Polyethersulphone (PES) is an aromatic thermoplastic, at low environmental impact, evaluated in this work as a promising candidate for new polymer electrolytes in the PEMFCs technology. A sulfonation procedure has been tuned in order to graft sulfonic acid groups on the polymer chains (sPES) and to make it hydrophilic. Homogeneous membranes with different polymer's sulfonation degrees (SD%) have demonstrated excellent mechanical properties and very low permeability toward methanol (important in the DMFCs), even if low proton conductivity. Nanocomposite sPES membranes were prepared by dispersion of highly hydrophilic lamellar particles such as layered double hydroxide (LDH) in the polymer. Deep investigations performed by a combination of PFG-NMR, EIS, XRD, DMA, and scanning electron microscopy have evidenced the exfoliation of the lamellae in polymer matrix. However, a certain anisotropy was evidenced both in the morphology and molecular diffusion, favored in the longitudinal direction (parallel to surface), while completely inhibited in the cross-section. This finding is most likely induced by the polymer structure, therefore particular attention must be paid to the choice of the filler and preparation of the composites. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Magnetic fluids are now widely used to implement transducer architectures. These fluids have valuable properties compared to traditional materials. In this column, a brief overview of magnetic fluids and their traditional uses in the field of transducers are given and some applications developed at the DIEES laboratory at the University of Catania, Italy are presented 相似文献

We present analytical and experimental results on fluxgate magnetometers that make use of a readout technique based on residence times. This approach allows for enhancing sensitivity to weak target signals in particular when the reduction of the sensor dimensions are considered. Our approach, exploiting the inherent nonlinear character of the bistable core dynamics, is based on the time domain characterization of the transitions between the two saturation states of the hysteresis loop that is inherent in the ferromagnetic core dynamics. This readout technique can be implemented with bias signals having lower amplitude and frequency than those used in conventional fluxgate processing schemes, thus reducing the device power requirements. The efficacy of this strategy is shown through an analytical approach and via experimental results which suggests guidelines for optimal device design and realization. The experiments have been carried out on a miniaturized laboratory fluxgate prototype; this device shows numerous desirable characteristics, including very good sensitivity and resolution, as well as ease of operation and a very low cost. 相似文献

Membrane‐electrode assemblies (MEAs) characterised by different hydrophobic–hydrophilic properties were investigated in a passive Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) monopolar mini‐stack at room temperature. These properties were modulated by varying the amount of Nafion or replacing the ionomer in the catalytic layer with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Impedance spectroscopy provided valuable information with respect to the limiting processes occurring during fuel cell operation. Methanol crossover, especially in the presence of high methanol concentration, played a major role in determining the overall performance. The development of a methanol impermeable membrane appears crucial for increasing the performance of DMFC devices for portable applications. 相似文献

In this paper the influence of the shape of the membership functions on the dynamic behaviour of a fuzzy controlled system is investigated. Although several works on fuzzy logic have been presented in the literature, few efforts have been made to characterize the dynamic behaviour of a fuzzy system through the shape of the membership functions. A parametrization for a class of membership functions is introduced in this work, resulting in a variety of shapes. Various system steady state dynamics are analysed as a consequence of this change in shape and chaotic dynamics is shown to arise for some membership function shapes. 相似文献

In this article, a novel approach to sensing static electric fields has been presented. The approach is extremely interesting due to the low cost of the technology and the simplicity of the architecture. The purpose of the article is to highlight the strategic role of behavioral models in the development and design of E-field sensors. It is important to observe that simulation results must always be supported by experimental evidence to confirm the predicted behaviors. A good solution to perform a reliable investigation, if allowed, is to model the main blocks of the system separately and at the same time to experimentally assess their real behavior to confirm theoretical expectations. 相似文献

Carbon-supported Pt and Pt3Co catalysts with a mean crystallite size of 2.5 nm were prepared by a colloidal procedure followed by a carbothermal reduction. The catalysts with same particle size were investigated for the oxygen reduction in a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) to ascertain the effect of composition. The electrochemical investigations were carried out in a temperature range from 40 to 80 °C and the methanol concentration feed was varied in the range 1-10 mol dm−3 to evaluate the cathode performance in the presence of different conditions of methanol crossover. Despite the good performance of the Pt3Co catalyst for the oxygen reduction, it appeared less performing than the Pt catalyst of the same particle size for the cathodic process in the presence of significant methanol crossover. Cyclic voltammetry analysis indicated that the Pt3Co catalyst has a lower overpotential for methanol oxidation than the Pt catalyst, and thus a lower methanol tolerance. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis showed that the charge transfer resistance for the oxygen reduction reaction dominated the overall DMFC response in the presence of high methanol concentrations fed to the anode. This effect was more significant for the Pt3Co/KB catalyst, confirming the lower methanol tolerance of this catalyst compared to Pt/KB. Such properties were interpreted as the result of the enhanced metallic character of Pt in the Pt3Co catalyst due to an intra-alloy electron transfer from Co to Pt, and to the adsorption of oxygen species on the more electropositive element (Co) that promotes methanol oxidation according to the bifunctional theory. 相似文献

A 60 wt% Pt–Fe/C and a 60 wt% Pt–Cu/C catalysts with Fe and Cu content of 5 wt% were prepared by using a combination of colloidal and incipient wetness methods; this has allowed synthesis of small nanostructured crystalline bimetallic catalysts with particle size less than 3 nm and with a suitable degree of alloying. These materials were studied in terms of structure, morphology and composition using XRD, XRF and TEM techniques. The electrocatalytic behaviour for ORR of the catalysts was investigated using the rotating disk technique and compared to that of a pure Pt catalyst with similar particle size. No improvement in performance was recorded with the Pt–Cu compared to Pt catalyst, whereas, a promoting effect in enhancing the ORR was observed for the Pt–Fe catalyst both with and without methanol in the oxygen-saturated electrolyte solution. 相似文献

In this study, the construction and optimization of a low cost home-assembled DMFC single cell test station is described. The station was built using two flow control systems, for gas (air/oxygen) and liquid (methanol), a temperature controller, an electronic load, a milliohm-meter for resistance measurements and a computerized data acquisition system. The experiments were carried out on a 6.25 cm2 single cell, built using two graphite plates with triple serpentine channel geometry for both anodic and cathodic flow fields. The cell was equipped with an MEA composed of Nafion 117 as electrolyte, Pt/C based catalyst as cathode and PtRu (1:1)/C as anode. In order to develop a HySyLab internal standard procedure, MEA activation was carefully studied. The activated MEA was used to determine the optimum values of cell operating parameters, such as oxidant flow, methanol flow and temperature. 相似文献
