A team at the University of Delaware has demonstrated a direct ammonia fuel cell (DAFC) prototype with a peak power density of 135 mW cm -2 at 80 ?C. Carbon-neutral fuels are needed for sustainable transportation to overcome the range and recharge limitations of batteries and the scale limitations of biofuels. Zhao et al. Zhao et al.

According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), US electricity generation in 2010 was 70% fossil fuels (coal 44.9%, natural gas 23.8%); 20% nuclear; and 10% renewable, of which 6.2% Wind accounted for 2.3%. EIA forecasts that the mix in 2035 will shift to include 39% coal; 27% natural gas; and 16% renewables.

Results from the study also suggest that with sufficient coal plant retirement and sufficient wind power, controlled charging could result in positive net benefits instead of negative. The question of electricity costs vs. health and environmental cost is important to ask everywhere, Michalek said. Credit: ACS, Weis et al.

The resulting nano-sized pores of the resulting np-CuTi are responsible for high surface areas, whereas the micrometer-sized pores served as gas diffusion channels to enhance mass transport properties. They then compared electrocatalytic performances of np-CuTi with a commercial state-of-the-art Pt/C electrocatalyst.
