Investigation of Highly Effective and Stable Electrocatalysts for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction at Room and Elevated Temperatures
DownloadFall 2017
To effectively reduce and utilize atmospheric CO2, electrochemically converting it to CO on an efficient and stable electrocatalyst at room and elevated temperatures has attracted extensive interests. However, present electrocatalysts usually suffer from sluggish kinetics, high overpotential, low...

Studies of Perovskite-based Materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Anode Performance Optimization and Degradation Mechanism of Electrolyte
DownloadFall 2014
As an alternative energy generation device with higher efficiency compared to conventional devices, the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has been widely investigated. However, the application of SOFC is seriously limited due to the difficulty of maintaining an effective balance between excellent...

The Investigation of Lanthanum Strontium Chromite (LSC) Based Perovskite Anodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs)
DownloadFall 2016
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) can be fueled with diverse raw natural gases which usually contain a carbon source and significant amount of H2S. Both of them severely deactivate the Ni-YSZ cermet anode materials and limit their wide applications. Therefore, the potential anode catalysts developed...
