Chapter 3 Impregnated membranes for DMFCs at high methanol concentrations prepared by hot pressing two E-TEK commercial electrodes on both sides of the membranes at 10bar. At least two MEAs were prepared and measured for each methanol concentration. Minimum 70 polarization curves were measured for each MEA and the values presented in this work are their av- erage values.

Polarization curves of SPPEK1.4 and SPPEK1.4-PE membranes at various methanol concentrations. Figure 7 presents polarization curves of SPPEK1.4 and SPPEK1.4-PE mem- branes at various methanol concentrations. The open cell voltage (OCV) values of each membrane decreases at higher methanol concentration due to the increasing driving force for the methanol cross-over. In all graphs, there are clear regions of activation, ohmic and concentration polarization. The concentration polarization is significant at 1M, but becomes lower at 3M and 6M. For SPPEK1.4 membrane, it seems that the performance at 6M is slightly worse than at 3M. However, for the SPPEK1.4-PE, the perform- ance at 6M is better than 3M. In fact, the impregnated membrane can be used up to 1600-1700 mA/cm2 at high methanol concentrations. This is also obvious when comparing the power density curves of the membranes at various methanol concentrations (see Fig. 8). SPPEK1.4-PE composite membrane shows superior performance than SPPEK1.4 membrane at every concentration and at low and high current density regions of the curves due to its significantly low methanol cross-over and reasonable proton conduc- tivity. Since the composite membrane has significantly low methanol cross- 47 1M 6M 3M 0 300 600 900 1200 1500 1800 Current density [mA/cm2] Cell voltage [V] Cell voltage [V]

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
