A Review Of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Catalyst Layer By Electrospinning, Yong Liu, Han Ding, De-Chun Si, Jie Peng, Jian-Bo Zhang Dec 2018

A Review Of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Catalyst Layer By Electrospinning, Yong Liu, Han Ding, De-Chun Si, Jie Peng, Jian-Bo Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The limitation of catalyst layer for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) in cost, durability and performance constitutes the bottleneck for the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles. Electrospun catalyst layer, with high catalyst utilization, increased triple phase boundary (TPB) and triple phase channel (TPC), has been developed by many researchers. This paper reviews the research progress in the electrospun catalyst layer for PEMFC, combined with the author’s work. Firstly, the development progress of catalyst layer is summarized, and the catalyst layer is classified and analyzed based on its fabrication method and structure character. Next, the fabrication process, physical property characterization, …

Applications Of Electrospinning In Lithium-Air Batteries, Yue Fu, Jin Wang, Hai-Yang Yu, Jing-Hua Tian, Rui-Zhi Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Lithium-air batteries have received increasing attention as the “ultimate batteries” due to their extremely high theoretical capacity and environment friendly. However, there are still many obstacles hindering the wide applications of the lithium-air batteries owing to the limitations of large charge-discharge over-potentials, poor Columbic efficiency and cycling performance. Exploring of high-efficiency, low-cost and eco-friendly catalysts is one of the vital issues for lithium-air batteries. Meanwhile, electrospinning techniques have been under substantial developments due to its simple fabrication process, high efficiency and production. This paper reviews the recent progresses in fabrications of various novel catalysts for lithium-air batteries with electrospinning techniques, …
