Synthesis of Highly Active Fe-N-C Catalysts Via Non-Contact Pyrolysis of Gas-Phase Iron

INV-20028 Background Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), based on proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), were commercialized in 2014. The catalysts used for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in PEMFCs are Pt-alloys. The cost of automotive fuel cell systems is still high due to the high loading of Pt on the PEMFC cathode. One of the strategies...

Functionalized Monometallic Transition Metal Surfaces for Selective hydrogen Evolution Reaction

> INV-20027 Background Hydrogen at scale via water electrolysis has always been an energy cost and is a potentially cost-effective, where carbon-neutral means hydrogen gas production. The development of low-cost and reliable catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a key component in achieving...

Non-noble Metal Based ODC Cathodes for Chlorine Evolution Processes

INV-13048 Background Use of “depolarizers” in electrolytic reactions helps lower input electrical energy in electrochemical processes. For example, in batteries depolarizers help prevent buildup of hydrogen gas bubbles thereby preventing the voltage, and thereby current, from being reduced. Among the known depolarizers, including sulfur...

A Versatile Self-Sustaining Method and Device for Fuel/Power Generation by Sequential Gasification and "Clean Combustion" of Waste Products

Method and device for fuel and power generation by clean combustion of organic waste materials. Institute Reference: INV-1108 Background Fossil fuel resources are finite, and are widely expected to dwindle in the not too distant future. As these resources become more scarce, the costs of extracting fuel have been on the rise and it has become more...
