Design and Modelling of Graphene-Based Composites as Reversible Oxygen Electrode Electrocatalysts for Regenerative Alkaline Fuel Cell

Regenerative fuel cells are important in a number of applications such as remote back-up power where fuel logistics are difficult. A key component of a regenerative fuel cell is the oxygen electrode which is required to perform in both a fuel cell mode and in an electrolysis mode. The proposed research project will look at a low cost non-precious metal approach for the oxygen electrode of a regenerative fuel cell. It is anticipated that a number of the limitations of the regenerative fuel cell will be addressed with the proposed new material approaches.
