Ultrabroadband and Reconfigurable Transmissive Acoustic Metascreen

Passive acoustic wave manipulations are severely constrained by the narrow frequency bandwidth of acoustic metastructures. In this research, an unprecedented type of reconfigurable acoustic metascreen is proposed for broadband manipulations of transmitted acoustic waves. The conceived structure is composed of uniquely designed unit cells producing the modulation of the transmitted phase shift within the full 2π range with an excellent impedance matching with the background medium. By rationally arranging the reconfigurable elements within the metascreen based on the corresponding parameter profile, different phenomena and functionalities can be easily realized. As examples, acoustic focusing and acoustic bending are presented to showcase the performance of the proposed metascreen. We indeed numerically and experimentally demonstrate the ultra-broadband and reconfigurable features of our concept over an astonishing frequency range extending from 3 to 17 kHz, which covers the majority spectrum of the audible range of human hearing. Our work provides a unique and remarkable conceptual design of acoustic metascreen opening a promising and pragmatic route to conceive compact broadband acoustic devices, where wavefront manipulations on broadband sound signals or pulsed signals are required.     

The effect of low humidity on the uniformity and stability of segmented PEM fuel cells

The performance and stability of a PEMFC depends on many operating parameters. The measurement of local currents in PEMFC cells is an important tool for diagnoses and development of fuel cells. In this study, a segmented cell was developed, which could serve as an essential instrument to investigate the different operating conditions in the cells and stacks of technical relevance. In addition, the effects of different feed gas humidity and temperatures were investigated to analyze the steady-state performance, uniformity, and the local stability of PEMFC with the use of eight segmented regions. With this research method, the resistance in each segment could be measured by ac impedance as well as make a comparison between Nafion^® 117 and 112 membranes in PEMFC. In the experiment, by probing into the high frequency internal resistance and performance of this cell, the effects of flow rates of fuels, oxidants, relative humidity, and directional channel flows were investigated for performance and stability of local segmented regions. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the local current distribution is strongly influenced by the relative humidity of fuel, the stoichiometric of the processed air, and the mode of operation. The cell was operated at a cell temperature of 50 °C with low relative humidity of 33% and 0%, causing the drying of the membrane (and increase of its resistance) at the top-stream path. The membrane conductivity was enhanced due to the water product increase by the reaction in the middle- and down-stream paths, because the down-stream has higher current than the top-stream. The relative humidity of the air increased along the path due to the product water, therefore, the current density increased as well. The local segmented cell could maintain stable performance at low hydrogen stoichiometry of 1.05 for low humidity gases. As the counter-flow and inverse gravity direction of hydrogen fuel was operated, the fuel cell showed the much more stable and uniform local performance.     

Planar array stack design aided by rapid prototyping in development of air-breathing PEMFC

The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is one of the most important research topics in the new and clean energy area. The middle or high power PEMFCs can be applied to the transportation or the distributed power system. But for the small power application, it is needed to match the power requirement of the product generally. On the other hand, the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is one of the most common type that researchers are interested in, but recently the miniature or the micro-PEMFCs attract more attention due to their advantages of high open circuit voltage and high power density.     

Preparation and properties of carbon nanotube/polypropylene nanocomposite bipolar plates for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells

This study aims at the fabrication of lightweight and high performance nanocomposite bipolar plates for the application in polymer electrode membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The thin nanocomposite bipolar plates (the thickness <1.2 mm) consisting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), graphite powder and PP were fabricated by means of compression molding. Three types of polypropylene (PP) with different crystallinities including high crystallinity PP (HC-PP), medium crystallinity PP (MC-PP), low crystallinity PP (LC-PP) were prepared to investigate the influence of crystallinity on the dispersion of MWCNTs in PP matrix. The optimum composition of original composite bipolar plates was determined at 80 wt.% graphite content and 20 wt.% PP content based on the measurements of electrical and mechanical properties with various graphite contents. Results also indicate that MWCNTs was dispersed better in LC-PP than other PP owing to enough dispersed regions in nanocomposite bipolar plates. This good MWCNT dispersion of LC-PP would cause better bulk electrical conductivity, mechanical properties and thermal stability of MWCNTs/PP nanocomposite bipolar plates. In the MWCNTs/LC-PP system, the bulk electrical conductivities with various MWCNT contents all exceed 100 S cm⁻¹. The flexural strength of the MWCNTs/LC-PP nanocomposite bipolar plate with 8 phr of MWCNTs was approximately 37% higher than that of the original nanocomposite bipolar plate and the unnotched Izod impact strength of MWCNTs/LC-PP nanocomposite bipolar plates was also increased from 68.32 J m⁻¹ (0 phr) to 81.40 J m⁻¹ (8 phr), increasing 19%. In addition, the coefficient of thermal expansion of MWCNTs/LC-PP nanocomposite bipolar plate was decreased from 32.91 μm m⁻¹ °C⁻¹ (0 phr) to 25.79 μm m⁻¹ °C⁻¹ (8 phr) with the increasing of MWCNT content. The polarization curve of MWCNTs/LC-PP nanocomposite bipolar plate compared with graphite bipolar plate was also evaluated. These results confirm that the addition of MWCNTs in LC-PP leads to a significant improvement on the cell performance of the nanocomposite bipolar plate.
