Anodic Nanocatalysts For Formic Acid Fuel Cells: An Electrochemical Study, Tamanna F. Shanta Mcfarland
Dissertations
Direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) have been reported as a prominent source of alternative green energy and solution to imminent energy crisis for the last two decades. The challenge to commercialize DFAFCs is primarily the utilization of cost effective, high performance and durable anodic catalyst for formic acid oxidation (FAO). Consequently, this dissertation addresses the extensive electrochemical study of a number of nanomaterials towards the potential use as electrocatalysts for FAO. Morphology and elemental analyses of the prepared nanomaterials were obtained using electron microscopy techniques.
After a general introduction and overall review of this dissertation (Chapter I), studies of …
