Critical Issues • Degradation in performance. • Alternating electrolyzer-fuel cell cycles degrades performance of URFC. • Efficiency is critical to URFC and DRFC system economics. • Applications with 1,000 cycles or less may find degradation acceptable. • Water management: URFC design must prevent flooding of electrodes in fuel cell mode. • Humidification of reactants for fuel cell applications is necessary. • URFC design must permit liquid water at the cathode interfaces for electrolysis. • DRFC separately resolves water management but with more complex Balance-of-Plant. • Thermal management: exothermic reaction of fuel cell requires cooling of fuel cell. • Endothermic reaction of electrolyzer does not require cooling plates except at high current densities. • DRFC separately resolves thermal management but with more complex Balance-of-Plant. • Carbon supported catalyst acceptable for fuel cell system but unacceptable for electrolyzer. • New catalyst supports needed for URFC—NSTF catalyst suggested. • Carbon supported catalyst acceptable for fuel cell in DRFC system. Materials • High catalyst loadings for electrolysis is a cost issue. Issues • NSTF for IrO2 support may reduce catalyst loadings. • Bipolar plates: carbon/graphite bipolar plates unacceptable for URFC because of corrosion. • Carbon/graphite bipolar plates acceptable for DRFC fuel cell. • Low cost metal bipolar plates for URFC are needed. • Low cost metal bipolar plates used in DRFC are needed. Balance-of- Plant Issues • Power electronics is an expensive component that needs development for both URFC and DRFC. • Development of power electronics subsystem that would be common to both fuel cell and electrolyzer. • DRFC has potentially more complex Balance-of-Plant. • Two separate BoP subsystems: fuel cell BoP and electrolyzer BoP but with common hydrogen storage. • Bi-functional water management and thermal management systems need to be developed for URFC. 13

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
