Adsorption of benzothiophene on Y zeolites investigated by infrared spectroscopy and flow calorimetry
Ming Jiang,Flora T. T. Ng +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the infrared spectra of benzothiophene adsorbed on different Y zeolites reveal that the cations and protons in the zeolite are the sites responsible for the adsorption of the compounds.

Direct oxidation of hydrocarbons in a solid-oxide fuel cell
TL;DR: The observation that a solid-oxide fuel cell can be operated on dry hydrocarbons, including liquid fuels, without reforming, suggests that this type of fuel cell could provide an alternative to hydrogen-based fuel-cell technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fuel Cells - Fundamentals and Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both low-temperature and high temperature fuel cells and propose a modularization of fuel cells, which makes them quite flexible as the power needed can easily be attained by changing the number of modules.
