Synthesis And Characterization Of New Ionic And Mixed Ionic/Electronic Conductors, Kevin Gregory Romito
Theses and Dissertations
In a constantly growing and developing world, there is a great need to develop new forms of clean energy generation. Many solutions have been proposed to ameliorate these global concerns, which include fuel cell technology and new processes for reducing polluting chemicals in the atmosphere. These technologies are still in their infancy and require further development before becoming viable options.
In the case of fuel cells, particularly solid oxide fuel cells, and CO2 separation membranes, there is a need to develop ion conducting materials that are highly efficient, less costly to synthesize, and can perform strongly under many real-world conditions. …

Theses and Dissertations
Electrochemical devices (batteries, fuel cell) are expected to play a vital role in the future of energy consumption for various purposes ranging from house hold usage to space exploration. Research is being conducted on various aspects so as to improve the design and operating range of these devices and one of the primary focuses is the porous electrode. It has been reported that significant volume change can occur during electrode processes, within the porous electrodes and depending on the material it can be as high as, but not limited to 300%. These large volume changes along with product formation in …
