Conversion of methane to syngas in a solid oxide fuel cell with Ni-SDC anode and LSGM electrolyte

A solid oxide fuel cell constructed from Ni-SDC anode and LSGM electrolyte was applied to the partial oxidation of methane to syngas (CO+H₂) at 700-800 °C with the merits of co-generation of electricity and controllable O₂ supply. It was found that the co-generated syngas at H₂/CO ratio of 1.4-2.0 varied with applied current densities, CH₄ flow rates and operating temperatures. The cell voltage at 100 mA cm⁻² and 800 °C was 0.90 V, i.e. about 90 mW cm⁻² power density could be obtained. The cell operating at 50 mA cm⁻² for 24 h almost showed no degradation of the cell performance. The observed carbon deposition seemed mainly taking place by CH₄ cracking reaction.

Electrochemical properties of Pb–Sb, Pb–Ca–Sn and Pb–Co3O4 anodes in copper electrowinning

Three types of anode, Pb–Sb, Pb–Ca–Sn and Pb–Co₃O₄, for copper electrowinning were investigated. The corrosion resistance, as evaluated by cyclic voltammetric (CV) measurements was higher for Pb–Co₃O₄ than for Pb–Sb and Pb–Ca–Sn. During prolonged electrowinning under galvanostatic conditions, the anodic reaction on the Pb–Co₃O₄ anode was depolarized by 0.053 V as compared to Pb–Sb, and by 0.106 V with respect to Pb–Ca–Sn. The composition and structure of the anodic layer were determined by XPS, X-ray and SEM analyses. The surface layer on the three anodes examined was composed mainly of PbSO₄, -PbO₂ and -PbO₂. Different structure of the surface layer was observed: loose and highly spread coral-like structure in the case of Pb–Sb; fibrous structure in the case of Pb–Ca–Sn and dense, fine-grained structure in the case of Pb–Co₃O₄.     

Performance of a magnesium–lithium alloy as an anode for magnesium batteries

In this work, we describe an evaluation of an Mg–Li alloy (Li: 13 wt %) for possible use in magnesium primary reserve batteries. Higher OCP for the Mg–Li alloy have been observed in 2 M MgCl₂ and MgBr₂ electrolyte. The corrosion rate of the Mg–Li alloy is found to be in the order: MgCl₂ < Mg(COOCH₃)₂ < MgSO₄ < MgBr₂ < Mg(ClO₄)₂. Mg–Li alloys exhibit higher (81%) anodic efficiencies even when the current density is increased to 8.6 mA cm ^–2. It has been observed that Mg–Li/MgCl₂/CuO cells offer higher operating voltage and capacity than those with the conventionally used Mg–Al alloy.     

Electrochemical study of a hydrogen diffusion anode-membrane assembly for membrane electrolysis

The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) studied was constituted with a gas diffusion electrode (E-TEK) impregnated with Nafion^® solution which was assembled with a Nafion^® 117 cation exchange membrane under heat and pressure. The MEA was used as anode in a membrane electrolysis (ME) cell with the objective to regenerate HCl and NaOH from NaCl. Current efficiency for hydrogen oxidation was determined and its value is 100%, which indicates that the only reaction occurring at the anode is the oxidation of hydrogen. Current-potential curves, recorded in different conditions, showed a linear variation in the range 0-3000 A m⁻² when hydrochloric acid concentration is below 2 mol dm⁻³. In this case, the overvoltage was shown to be mainly due to the ohmic drop in the membrane and in the layer where Nafion^® impregnation was performed. MEA overvoltage necessary to reach 3000 A m⁻² current density was about 0.12 V. For high HCl concentration (6-8 mol dm⁻³), the MEA overvoltage increased sharply with current density due to the adsorption of chloride anions on platinum catalyst.

Cellulose as a binding material in graphitic anodes for Li ion batteries: a performance and degradation study

Four types of cellulose, in particular carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), are tested as potential binding materials in graphitic anodes for lithium ion batteries. It is shown that a minimum content of a cellulose which gives acceptable anode properties (reversible capacity>300 mA h g⁻¹ during the first 10 cycles, irreversible loss<20%) is about 2 wt.%, which is less than in the case of conventional polymeric binders (5-10 wt.%). Kinetics of insertion-deinsertion and passivation processes seem not to be affected by the presence of cellulose. Explanation for the electrode failure at cellulose contents lower than 1 wt.% is given based on X-ray diffraction and microscopy investigations. Finally, the structure (distribution) of cellulose in the composite anode material is discussed and (indirectly) checked with a series of experiments. Most results are compared with the corresponding results obtained either with gelatin or conventional polymeric binders or both.
