1. 1. Reprocessing and Characterization of Polybenzimidazole for High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Douglas Björkengren; [2023]
   Keywords : polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells; PEMFC; HTPEMFC; polymer technology; polymer characterization; reprocessing; recycling; polybenzimidazole; PBI; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was successful and the subsequent washing procedure produced PBI that could be redissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and suitable for solution casting of new membranes.

3. 2. The effect of material properties on PEM fuel cell catalysts on durable oxidation reduction activity

   University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

   Author : Xiaoling Jiang; [2023]
   Keywords : PEM fuel cell; catalyst; ORR activity; particle size; degradation; PEM-bränslecell; katalysator; syrgasreduktionsaktivitet; partikelstorlek; åldring;

   Abstract : I detta examensarbete utforskas påverkan av partikelstorleken hos Pt-katalysatorer på kolbärare på syrereduktionen i polymerelektrolytmembran (PEM)-bränsleceller. Den elektrokemiskt aktiva ytarean, aktiviteten för syrereduktion och tillhörande degraderingshastigheter för de undersökta katalysatorerna beräknas och jämförs. READ MORE

4. 3. Characterisation of Ionic Liquid doped Polybenzimidazole Membranes for Application in High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Adam Jacobsson Trönndal; [2023]
   Keywords : Fuel cells; Phosphoric acid; Polybenzimidazole; PA-PBI; Ionic liquid; IL; High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell; HT-PEMFC; Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; EIS; IL-PBI; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In this study four membranes were tested and evaluated against each other for use in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) applications. A phosphoric acid (PA) doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane, was used as a reference as the current state-of-the-art. READ MORE

5. 4. Pre-study and Conceptual Design of a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Driven Wheel Loader
