U Delaware team develops prototype efficient direct ammonia fuel cell for transportation

Green Car Congress

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. The technical potential of wind and solar energy is vast, and such fuels are scalable beyond foreseeable needs. A paper on the work is published in the journal Joule. Zhao et al.

What is Tesla’s Mystery Magnet?

Cars That Think

Alexander Gabay, a researcher at the University of Delaware, states flatly: “I am skeptical that any non-rare-earth permanent magnet could be used in a synchronous traction motor in the near future.” It was a stunning disclosure, which left most experts in permanent magnetism wary and perplexed.

They then compared electrocatalytic performances of np-CuTi with a commercial state-of-the-art Pt/C electrocatalyst. Also, a scale-up test of np-CuTi using practical electrolyzers, such as hydroxide exchange membrane-based electrolyzers, is highly desired for the implementation to commercial processes.
