Richard I. Masel - Champaign IL, US
Cynthia A. Rice - Champaign IL, US
Assignee:

The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois - Urbana IL
International Classification:

C25B 11/06
H01M 8/10
H01M 4/90
H01M 4/92
B01J 21/18
US Classification:

204252, 20429014, 204294, 429 40, 429 41, 429 42, 429 30, 502182
Abstract:

A solution useful for forming a solid that supports mass transfer includes carbon nanotubes and a solvent. Solids formed using the solution thereby have carbon nanotubes dispersed therein that are useful for communicating gas and/or electric charges within the solid. Catalyst layers of the invention that include carbon nanotubes can provide high levels of efficiency while requiring low catalyst concentrations.

H01M 4/92
US Classification:

429 30, 429 15, 429 33, 429 34, 429 44, 429 46
Abstract:

A direct organic fuel cell includes a formic acid fuel solution having between about 10% and about 95% formic acid. The formic acid is oxidized at an anode. The anode may include a Pt/Pd catalyst that promotes the direct oxidation of the formic acid via a direct reaction path that does not include formation of a CO intermediate.

Appl. No.:

10/960801
Inventors:

Richard I. Masel - Champaign IL, US
Gregory Mozsgai - Vancouver, CA
Assignee:

Tekion, Inc. - Burnaby, BC
International Classification:

H01M 8/10
US Classification:

429 30, 429 35, 429 33, 429 44
Abstract:

A direct formic acid fuel cell includes a cathode current collector having a perpendicularly extending edge that is capable of cooperating with the perpendicularly extending edge of an anode current collector to effect a press fit. The configuration seals fluids disposed within the volume formed between the current collectors.

US Patent:

7618725, Nov 17, 2009
Filed:

Mar 14, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/079893
Inventors:

Richard I. Masel - Champaign IL, US
Yimin Zhu - Urbana IL, US
Zakia Kahn - Palatine IL, US
Malcolm Man - Vancouver, CA
Assignee:

The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois - Urbana IL
International Classification:

H01M 8/00
C06B 33/00
C10L 1/30
US Classification:

429 12, 44251, 44358
Abstract:

A low contaminant formic acid fuel is especially suited toward use in a direct organic liquid fuel cell. A fuel of the invention provides high power output that is maintained for a substantial time and the fuel is substantially non-flammable. Specific contaminants and contaminant levels have been identified as being deleterious to the performance of a formic acid fuel in a fuel cell, and embodiments of the invention provide low contaminant fuels that have improved performance compared to known commercial bulk grade and commercial purified grade formic acid fuels. Preferred embodiment fuels (and fuel cells containing such fuels) including low levels of a combination of key contaminants, including acetic acid, methyl formate, and methanol.
