U Delaware team demonstrates efficient direct ammonia fuel cell for vehicles

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Delaware have demonstrated a direct ammonia fuel cell (DAFC) prototype with a peak power density of 135 mW cm ?2. The DAFC employs an ammonia-tolerant precious-metal-free cathode catalyst and a high-temperature-stable hydroxide exchange membrane. Their paper is publishedin the journal Joule.

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. However, the scale of biofuels is limited by their environmental footprint, considering the land and water usage. A paper on the work is published in the journal Joule. —Zhao et al.

New highly selective and efficient catalyst for reduction of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed a highly selective nanoporous silver catalyst capable of electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide with 92% efficiency. The carbon monoxide then can be used to produce synthetic fuels and chemicals. The researcher reported their findings in Nature Communications.
