High-Performing and Stable Membrane Electrode Assemblies Based on Fluorine-Doped Tin Oxide Catalysts

Abstract To improve the iridium utilization on proton exchange membrane water electrolysers (PEMWEs), a new support based on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) nanoparticles was developed, characterized, and assessed for the anode side. This approach utilizes a sol–gel method combine...

Effect of infill density and geometry of direct ink written 3D Ni-based electrodes on their oxygen evolution reaction performance

Abstract In this work, Direct Ink Writing (DIW) is used to develop novel complex 3D electrodes for water splitting, specifically for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The main advantages of using 3D electrodes for this application are to maximise catalyst surface area and faci...

Blending PCI Coal and Biochar as Sustainable Alternative for Blast Furnace Fuels

The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using biochar or its blends with pulverized coal injection (PCI) coal as a potential blast furnace (BF) fuel. A comparison was conducted between the properties of biochar obtained from the pyrolysis of coconut shell and...
