Oxidation of 2-propanol in alkaline electrolytes using platinum and ruthenium-based catalysts: prototype fuel cells and electrokinetics studies
DownloadFall 2011
Markiewicz, Matthew Eugene Paul
Alcohols are an attractive alternative to hydrogen fuel in fuel cells. They are energy dense, easy to store, transport, and they are readily available. Alkaline fuel cells have several kinetic advantages over acidic fuel cells, but they are sensitive to carbon dioxide. The fuel most studied in...

Fortuitous characterization of the cationic nickel cluster [Ni4(NPtBu3)4][Li3Br4(Et2O)3] led to the rational syntheses and characterization of the mixed-valence low-coordinate cationic nickel cluster: [Ni4(NPtBu3)4]BPh4 and [Ni4(NPtBu3)4]PF6, and subsequently the preparation of the anionic...

Natural-gas fuelled catalytic heaters are commonly used in heating industrial space and remote location operations. Industrial units typically contain platinum that provides methane combustion at lower temperatures than non-catalytic burning. This work aimed to find a cost-efficient alternative...

Molecular transition metal catalysts offer unique potential for the production of fine chemicals. Chemical processes carried out in the presence of well defined molecular catalysts often only require mild, easily accessible conditions, fewer sacrificial reagents, and can selectively produce a...
