Novel acid-free process intensification for the synthesis of non-precious metal-nitrogen-carbon electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction

Alessio Cosenza et al.

Summary: In this study, a set of PGM-free mono-metallic electrocatalysts were synthesized using multiple silica templates and a modified acid-free sacrificial support method. The iron-based electrocatalysts showed higher activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) compared to other catalysts.

Global Sensitivity Analysis in Life-Cycle Assessment of Early-Stage Technology using Detailed Process Simulation: Application to Dialkylimidazolium Ionic Liquid Production

Husain A. Baaqel et al.

Summary: This paper presents a systematic methodology for uncertainty quantification in life-cycle assessment (LCA) of early-stage technologies using global sensitivity analysis (GSA). A case study comparing the life-cycle impacts of two dialkylimidazolium ionic liquids is conducted to illustrate the methodology. Failure to account for the foreground process uncertainty alongside the background uncertainty underestimates the predicted variance of the end-point environmental impacts by a factor of two, highlighting the importance of considering both types of uncertainties in LCA.

Gram-size Pt/C catalyst synthesized using Pt compound directly recovered from an end-of-life PEM fuel cell stack

Muralidhar Chourashiya et al.

Summary: The PEMFC technology is approaching maturity, but the challenges of insufficient durability and high cost of catalysts need to be addressed for fuel cell vehicles. Recycling platinum from end-of-life fuel cell stacks as a secondary source for Pt/C catalysts is found to be an economically and environmentally viable solution. The electrochemical performances of recycled Pt/C catalysts are comparable to commercial benchmark catalysts.

A simple decagram-scale synthesis of an atomically dispersed, hierarchically porous Fe-N-C catalyst for acidic ORR

Burak Koyuturk et al.

Summary: This study reports a simple and scalable synthesis method for preparing highly active iron-nitrogen-carbon catalysts. The catalysts possess high specific surface area, flow-enhancing hierarchical porosity, and abundant Fe-N-4 active sites. Despite having relatively low iron contents, the catalysts exhibit high halfwave potentials and mass activities in the oxygen reduction reaction under acidic conditions.

Life cycle assessment of fuel cell systems for light duty vehicles, current state-of-the-art and future impacts

Lorenzo Usai et al.

Summary: Electric vehicles are crucial for reducing emissions from light duty vehicles, with fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) offering potential benefits in driving range and fueling/charging rates. However, challenges such as lack of fueling infrastructure and high production costs hinder widespread adoption. Constant data updates and early detection of environmental impacts are necessary to guide technological progress. Assessments show that FCEV systems have lower environmental performance in certain components, but future technological developments combined with renewable energy sources could lead to significant reductions in environmental footprints.

Iron, Nitrogen Co-Doped Carbon Spheres as Low Cost, Scalable Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Jingyu Feng et al.

Summary: Atomically dispersed transition metal-nitrogen-carbon catalysts are emerging as low-cost electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells. A synthesis strategy for these catalysts is still required, as well as a greater understanding of their mechanisms. Iron, nitrogen co-doped carbon spheres (Fe@NCS) have been prepared and FeN4 is identified as the main form of iron existing in the obtained Fe@NCS. Starting from Fe2+ and Fe3+ precursors, catalysts show chemical and structural differences. Fe2+@NCS-A displays better catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction and shows potential for developing high-performance, low-cost fuel cell catalysts.

Deactivation, reactivation and super-activation of Fe-N/C oxygen reduction electrocatalysts: Gas sorption, physical and electrochemical investigation using NO and O2

Paul Boldrin et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that gaseous nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen (O2) can serve as useful molecular probes for understanding complex surface processes in Fe-N/C catalysts. The differences between using gaseous NO in temperature programmed desorption experiments and in electrochemical experiments are revealed. The oxidation state of the carbon surface plays a significant role in determining catalytic activity, with the possibility of super-activation through reductive electrochemical treatment.
