Zirconium oxide thin films were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering as model catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic media. The effects of sputtering conditions on ORR activity in acidic media was investigated. The effect of the deposition temperature on the ORR activity depended on whether the deposition atmosphere contained oxygen (Ar+O 2 , Ar+N 2 +O 2 ) or only nitrogen (Ar+N 2 ). In the range of 300-800 °C of the deposition temperature, the electrodes prepared in an Ar+N 2 showed higher ORR activity. XRD and XPS results showed that the tetragonal phase grew in an Ar+N 2 atmosphere, while a mixed phase of tetragonal and monoclinic phases grew in an Ar+O 2 atmosphere. It was found that Zr oxide thin film with a high proportion of tetragonal phase showed high ORR activity.

This paper investigated corrosion behaviors of three nickel-based chromia-forming commercial alloys (230, 617 and 601) at 750°C and 850°C in a CO 2 environment for up to 500 h. All three alloys showed good oxidation resistance by forming mainly a protective chromia layer with low weight changes. Internal Al 2 O 3 was precipitated beneath a thin protective chromia layer for all cases. For 230 and 617 alloys, NiO and Cr-rich spinel outer layers were formed, but for 601 less iron and nickel outward diffusion was observed at both temperatures. Furthermore, some minor alloy elements (Mn, Ti, and Co) were observed to diffuse into the chromia layers.Wagner’s theory predicted that alloy concentrations were marginal for chromia formation at both temperatures for the test alloys. The observation of protective chromia formation can be attributed to the effect of other alloying elements, e.g. Al, Mn, Ti, Si etc. Wagner’s theory also predicted that this critical chromium concentration decreased with increasing the oxidation temperature, which is consistent with the experimental observation.The Al and Si oxides formed an additional protective barrier between the matrix and the chromia layer, preventing the diffusion of iron and nickel outwards and therefore increasing oxidation resistance. Manganese effectively prevented carburization by combining with chromia to form the outermost spinel oxide layer, increasing oxidation/carburisation resistance. Titanium diffused through the chromia layer, accelerating chromium diffusion and leading to higher kinetic rates. Tungsten reduced oxidation resistance by increasing the metal vacancies and therefore outward diffusion of Ni, Fe and Mn through the chromia scale.

To improve the performance of polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE), it is necessary to grasp oxygen transport from the reaction site. This paper presents a visualization study which examines the effect of ionomers on the behavior of oxygen bubbles generated from catalyst covered with ionomers. The bubbles are captured with a high-speed camera, and the post visualization by electron microscopy with EDX showed that there were no significant cracks and damages on the ionomers. This implies that oxygen bubbles are generated on the ionomer surface without an apparent three-phase boundary (i.e., catalyst-ionomer-water). This suggests oxygen generated on the Pt surface was transported as dissolved oxygen through the ionomer layer.

A novel interdigitated flow field for polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers composed of oxygen exhaust channels apart from liquid water feed channels has been developed for ground and space applications. This design can internally separate oxygen gas and liquid water between the flow channels, dispensing with water circulators for bubble removal and external separators with natural or centrifugal buoyancy. In this electrolyzer, pressurized liquid water is injected in the in-plane direction from the water channels to the catalyst layer through the hydrophobic microporous layer (MPL) of the anode porous transport layer. The produced oxygen gas is discharged in the through-plane direction of the MPL, taking advantage of the capillary pressure in the MPL. This study conducted liquid water permeability tests on the MPL with pressurized water. We find gradual permeability decreases with time for different liquid water pressures. The permeability will be a useful parameter for the optimal structural designs of this electrolyzer.

Mesoporous carbon fibers were synthesized and ball-milled into fine carbon particles to use as cathode carbon support. A critical issue of high ohmic overvoltage, previously found in mesoporous carbon related supports, was successfully reduced. Reducing carbon particle size was realized to be important in order to lower interparticle resistance and further to lower ohmic resistance. When cathodes were successfully prepared, low concentration overvoltage was found to a beneficial point of using mesoporous carbon based supports. Resulting low concentration overvoltage could not be explained by the difference in macro-porous structure of the cathode. Therefore, mesopores are expected to play an important role of the mass transfer, even though the exact mechanism is still under the study.

We investigated characteristics of the Hf 0.55 Al 0.45 O x MOS capacitor (HfAlO) under a high sweep voltage and positive bias stress (PBS). The role of a 0.5nm-thick HfO 2 (HfO/HfAlO) or a 0.5nm-thick Al 2 O 3 (AlO/HfAlO) interfacial layer (IL) between n-GaN and Hf 0.55 Al 0.45 O x film on electrical properties was also discussed. The HfAlO, HfO/HfAlO and AlO/HfAlO capacitors showed a similar leakage current property. Each flatband voltage (V fb ) exhibited the same value against electric field (E) from V fb . No V fb hysteresis of all capacitors was observed at high Es from V fb up to 3.5MVcm -1 . Under PBS, the positive V fb shift appeared in all capacitors and increased with increasing the E from V fb . Note that the positive V fb shift suppressed 0.3V regardless of IL even in high effective electric field from V fb regions of 10~15MVcm -1 while the positive V fb shift of the Al 2 O 3 capacitor significantly increased above 0.5V at a low 6.5MVcm -1 .
研究了高频0.55 Al 0.45 O x MOS电容器(HfAlO)在高扫描电压和正偏置应力(PBS)作用下的特性。讨论了n-GaN与Hf 0.55 Al 0.45 O x膜之间0.5nm厚的HfO 2 (HfO/HfAlO)或0.5nm厚的al2o3 (AlO/HfAlO)界面层(IL)对电性能的影响。HfAlO、HfO/HfAlO和AlO/HfAlO电容器具有相似的漏电流特性。每个平带电压(vfb)对电场(E)的值相同。在从V fb到3.5MVcm -1的高Es下，所有电容器均未观察到V fb迟滞现象。在PBS作用下，所有电容器都出现了正的vfb位移，并且随着来自vfb的E的增加而增加。注意，即使在10~15MVcm -1的vfb区域的高有效电场中，与IL无关，正vfb位移也抑制了0.3V，而al2o3电容器的正vfb位移在低6.5MVcm -1时显著增加到0.5V以上。

This paper proposes a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) for optimizing the startup strategy of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack to improve the dynamic response capability, output voltage, and net power. First, a Simulink model of the PEMFC stack including the anode module, cathode module, water transfer module, output voltage module, and output net power module is established, and the accuracy of the stack model is verified through experiments. The three performances are then optimized simultaneously based on NSGA-II. The results show that the optimized start-up loading strategy results in a PEMFC stack that outperforms the base model in steady-state voltage, undershoot percent, and net power these three indicators with the same response time, demonstrating the success of the method in solving multiple optimization problems. This study presents an effective approach for the multi-objective optimization of the PEMFC stack, which is of guidance for engineering practice.

This complements previous studies done using X-ray reflectometry and surface acoustic microscopy: Fourier Transform Infra-Red Multiple Internal Reflection (FTIR-MIR) spectroscopy is used here to characterize the evolutions of contributions of silanols, surface bonded water and free liquid water groups.

Reversible solid oxide cells (r-SOCs) enable both fuel cell power generation and steam-electrolysis hydrogen production by changing the direction of the current in the cells. They are attractive electrochemical devices because of their ability to regulate power supply derived from renewable energy sources. In this study, initial performance was evaluated, and an electrolyte-supported cell and fuel-electrode-supported cells were compared and evaluated with changing operating temperatures. The performances for fuel-electrode-supported cells with various combinations of fuel electrode and electrolyte materials were also evaluated. In addition, the Ni-YSZ/YSZ fuel-electrode-supported cell, which exhibited the highest current-voltage characteristics, was subjected to r-SOC cycling tests to evaluate the cycle durability.
