Накратко на български

Горивните клетки с платинени наножици се изследват за създаване на по-евтини системи за едновременно производство на ток и топлина в сградите. Това помага за намаляване на разходите за скъпи материали и подобряване на ефективността при ниски въглеродни емисии.

Innovative fuel cell system for CHP application in Low Carbon Buildings

The amount of energy consumed by all buildings, commercial and domestic, is about 45% total consumption in the UK. Fuel cell-based CHP (combined heat and power) systems as a distributed energy system are an attractive choice, because of their both high electrical and heat efficiency and low emission. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is promising for its high efficiency and zero-emission, but the high price of platinum catalysts and sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at cathode are the barriers for its commercialization. Platinum nanowires (Pt-NWs) supported on carbon have been used as catalysts for ORR and reported as having high activity and long durability due to their one dimension structure. Our previous work designed firstly a porous carbon matrix and grew directly pt nanowires in the pore walls of the matrix, forming a so called “Pt nanowire electrode” where the Pt nanowire morphology and distribution in the catalyst layer can be adjusted by process parameters. The overall objective of the project is to establish scientific and engineering merits for the development of new PEMFC systems with high performance, low cost and long durability using a novel Pt-nanowire electrode technology, and based on the results to develop a low Pt loading (<0.25mgPt /cm2) electrode processes and demonstrate high-performance PEMFC system in the mCHP for low-carbon residential applications.

Цел на проекта

This Marie Sklodowska Curie Individual Fellowship will bring a researcher from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Dr Sheng Sui with extensive experiences in the electrocatalysis, membrane electrode assembly (MEA), stack, and system integration for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), to work with the host research group which have the leading expertise in the field of low carbon/eco- building technologies, combined power, heating and cooling system, advanced heat transfer enhancement methods and fluid dynamics modelling. The overall objective of the project is to establish scientific and engineering merits for the development of new PEMFC systems with high performance, low cost and long durability using a novel Pt-nanowire electrode technology. The proposed project will make significant contributions for a fundamental understanding of the Pt-nanowire growing and crystallisation in microstructure and Pt-nanowire electrode kinetics in PEMFC. A 1kW fuel cell stack will be developed based on the Pt-nanowire electrode technology and demonstrated in the Creative Energy Homes at the University of Nottingham.The project has been carefully chosen to match Dr Sui’s expertise in innovative fuel cell system with that in sustainable energy and buildings technologies at the University of Nottingham so as to maximize the benefit to Europe. The proposed R&D activities on fuel cell system will assist in reducing high cost of fuel cell system and maintenance interval for low carbon and renewable energy buildings. Application of this new fuel cell system on the eco-buildings in Europe could also increase customer awareness and bring the low carbon or zero energy building idea to be realised.
