Preparation and characterization of titanium suboxides as conductive supports of IrO2 electrocatalysts for application in SPE electrolysers
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel chemical route for the preparation of titanium suboxides (Ti n O 2 n −1 ) with Magneli phase was developed, where ceramic powders were prepared from TiCl 4 by complexation of Ti ions and successive decomposition of the complex to form an amorphous oxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and evaluation of RuO2–IrO2, IrO2–Pt and IrO2–Ta2O5 catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction in an SPE electrolyzer
A. Di Blasi,C. D’Urso,Vincenzo Baglio,Vincenzo Antonucci,Antonino S. Aricò,R. Ornelas,F. Matteucci,Germán Orozco,D. Beltran,Yunny Meas,Luis Gerardo Arriaga +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the anode catalyst powders were sprayed onto Nafion 117 membrane (catalyst coated membrane, CCM), using Pt catalyst at the cathode, and the CCM procedure was extended to different in-house prepared catalyst formulations to evaluate if such a method could be applied to electrolyzers containing durable titanium backings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of bimetallic Pt–M/C as DMFC cathode catalysts
Vincenzo Baglio,Alessandro Stassi,A. Di Blasi,C. D’Urso,Vincenzo Antonucci,Antonino S. Aricò +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a low temperature preparation procedure based on a combination of colloidal and incipient wetness methods was developed to modify the Pt catalyst with transition metals (Fe, Cu and Co).
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards fuel cell membranes with improved lifetime: Aquivion® Perfluorosulfonic Acid membranes containing immobilized radical scavengers
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel silica-supported cerium-oxide-based radical scavenger bearing sulfonic acid functionalities is presented to mitigate peroxy radicals attack to the polymeric membrane under fuel cell operating conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selectivity of Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Membranes
Antonino S. Aricò,David Sebastián,Michael Schuster,Bernd Bauer,C. D’Urso,Francesco Lufrano,Vincenzo Baglio +6 more
TL;DR: The behavior of the membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) was investigated in fuel cell with the aim to individuate a correlation between membrane characteristics and their performance in a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC).
