Novel sealants for solid oxide fuel cells are developed by addition of glass fiber into glass ceramic as a reinforcement material. Various sealants including three different fiberglass types and four different structural designs are fabricated. The mechanical and sealing performances of the sealants are investigated via tensile and short stack leakage tests, respectively. The tensile tests reveal that the fracture strength of the sealants varies depending on the type and number of the glass fiber used. In general, the sealants having relatively high number of glass fiber layers exhibit relatively low joining strength. The best bonding strength values are obtained from the sealants having a structure where a single glass fiber layer is sandwiched between two glass-ceramic layers. The sealing performance tests are performed for the sealants showing the highest and lowest fracture strengths in the tensile tests as well as for the sealant without glass fiber addition as a base case for a comparison. The results indicate that it is possible to obtain a gas-tight sealing at high temperatures under all pressures studied, whereas leakage occurs at room temperature for all cases considered. However, the sealing performance is found to be related with the mechanical strength of the sealants. (C) 2019 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Hollow core mesoporous shell carbon supported Pt electrocatalysts with high Pt loading for PEMFCs Guvenatam, Burcu; Ficicilar, Berker; BAYRAKÇEKEN YURTCAN, Ayşe; Eroğlu, İnci (Elsevier BV, 2012-01-01) The aim of this study is to synthesize mesoporous carbon supports and prepare their corresponding electrocatalysts with microwave irradiation method and also increasing the Pt loading over the carbon support by using some additional reducing agents. Pt loadings on hollow core mesoporous shell (HCMS) and commercial Vulcan XC72 carbon supports up to 34% and 44%, respectively, were achieved via polyol process with microwave irradiation method. When hydrazine or sodium borohydride was used in addition to ethyle...
PEM fuel cell degradation effects on the performance of a stand-alone solar energy system ÖZDEN, Ender; Tarı, İlker (Elsevier BV, 2017-05-04) After comparing fresh and degraded performances of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) based components of a hydrogen cycle with the help of computational fluid dynamics simulations, recently established stand-alone solar energy system producing hydrogen for energy storage is investigated focusing on the effects of degradation of fuel cells on the overall performance of the system. A complete model of the system has been developed using TRNSYS, and a degraded PEM Fuel Cell Subsystem has been incorporated int...
Ammonia borane as hydrogen storage materials AKBAYRAK, SERDAR; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-04) Ammonia borane is an appropriate solid hydrogen storage material because of its high hydrogen content of 19.6% wt., high stability under ambient conditions, nontoxicity, and high solubility in common solvents. Hydrolysis of ammonia borane appears to be the most efficient way of releasing hydrogen stored in it. Since ammonia borane is relatively stable against hydrolysis in aqueous solution, its hydrolytic dehydrogenation can be achieved at an appreciable rate only in the presence of suitable catalyst at roo...
Experimental investigation of CO tolerance in high temperature PEM fuel cells DEVRİM, YILSER; Albostan, Ayhan; Devrim, Huseyin (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-04) In the present work, the effect of operating a high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) with different reactant gases has been investigated throughout performance tests. Also, the effects of temperature on the performance of a HT-PEMFC were analyzed at varying temperatures, ranging from 140 degrees C to 200 degrees C. Increasing the operating temperature of the cell increases the performance of the HT-PEMFC. The optimum operating temperature was determined to be 160 degrees C due to th...
Transition metal nanoparticle catalysts in releasing hydrogen from the methanolysis of ammonia borane Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-13) Ammonia borane (H3N center dot BH3, AB) is one of the promising hydrogen storage materials due to high hydrogen storage capacity (19.6% wt), high stability in solid state as well as in solution and nontoxicity. The methanolysis of AB is an alternative way of releasing H-2 due to many advantages over the hydrolysis such as having high stability against self releasing hydrogen gas. Here we review the reports on using various noble or non-noble metal(0) catalysts for H-2 release from the methanolysis of AB. Ni...
