Simulation ab initio de la morphologie et réactivité des nanoparticules de platine supportées

Les piles à combustible à membrane échangeuse de protons (PCMEP) font actuellement l'objet de nombreuses recherches, car elles constituent des sources d'énergie verte très efficaces pour les transports et les applications transférables. La couche catalytique cathodique des PCMEP, habituellement formée d'un catalyseur à base de platine sur support de carbone, est considérée comme le composant […]

Mathematical Modeling of Porous Structure and Operation of Cathode Catalyst Layers in PEM Fuel Cells

Highly efficient and environmentally clean energy conversion in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cells is driven by electrochemical reactions that convert hydrogen and oxygen molecules into water. Water, the product of the overall reaction, is involved in all essential processes in the cell. Water management is, thus, a critical issue for fuel cell operation. It […]
