Infrared thermography for mapping catalyst distribution and detecting defects in PEM fuel cell and electrolyzer electrodes

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and electrolyzers require reliable quality control methods to assess catalyst distribution on electrode surfaces. Non-uniform catalyst deposition may reduce performance, increase platinum waste, and promote local degradation. In this work,...

Technique Analysis of Filter-Clogging Particulate Matter in Eddy Covariance Systems in a Volcanic Environment

The eddy covariance (EC) technique is a key tool in environmental monitoring, enabling continuous and non-invasive measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes at the ecosystem–atmosphere interface. In environments characterized by high levels of airborne particulates, such as volc...
