Platinum-free Anionic Fuel Cells for Automotive Applications

In order to overcome the barriers against the FCVs, a platinum-free anionic fuel cell has been developed. The platinum-free fuel cell, by using liquid hydrazine hydrate (N2H4·H2O) for fuel, comprises cobalt or nickel for the anode and cobalt for the cathode, can demonstrate a high performance, and achieves zero CO2 emissions. For vehicle application, a detoxification method, which repeatedly fixes and releases hydrazine hydrate, has also been developed. In this paper, the fuel cell performance using nickel, cobalt and platinum as an anode catalyst was compared. It was shown clearly that nickel and cobalt have the superior catalytic activity to platinum. The influence of fuel concentration and KOH addition is also discussed. This new fuel cell technology can conquer the conventional subject, and is expected to spread widely. Moreover, this technology was exhibited and attracted attention in Environmental Showcase of G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit held in July, 2008.
citations This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).7 popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network.Average influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).Average impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network.Average
