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 present work provides that unified analysis, finding that ammonia delivers the lowest source-to-tank cost among carbon-neutral fuels produced from renewable electricity. Zhao et al.

U Delaware team develops efficient catalyst for production of renewable jet-fuel-range alkanes from biomass under mild conditions

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Delaware has synthesized renewable jet-fuel-range alkanes by hydrodeoxygenation of lignocellulose-derived high-carbon furylmethanes over ReO x -modified Ir/SiO 2 catalysts under mild reaction conditions (170 ˚C, 5 MPa). Their paper is featured on the cover of the journal ChemSusChem. Cheng, Z., 201700863.
