Janus few layered graphene with asymmetric wettability as anti-flooding cathode supports in proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Water balance in cathode catalyst layer (CCL) is crucial for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Herein, we report a novel strategy to develop a Janus few layered graphene particles (FLGP) with asymmetric wettability by varying the carbon precursors in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Using the Janus FLGP supported Pt with asymmetric wettability as the cathode of a PEMFC, a peak power density of 632 mW cm⁻² was achieved, which was about two-folds of the hydrophobic FLGP and three-folds of hydrophilic FLGP based cathode, respectively. The enhanced performance could be ascribed to the well-constructed three-phase boundary in an anti-flooding cathode, leading to enlarged electrochemical active surface area and facilitated mass transfer. This work may provide new clues for improving water management in PEMFCs.     

Key technologies for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell systems fueled impure hydrogen

Hydrogen energy and polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells become concerned issues in recent years. Nevertheless, the construction of hydrogen refueling infrastructure and hydrogen storage and transportation constrains the commercial development of fuel cells. In this review, sources, production, storage, transportation, and purification methods of hydrogen are extensively reviewed and compared. The advantages of utilizing industrial by-product hydrogen and steam reforming gas in PEM fuel cell systems are analyzed. Using industrial wasted hydrogen can significantly reduce the cost of hydrogen. Also, it is indicated that the onboard hydrogen generation by steam methanol reforming can solve the difficulties of efficient storage and transportation of gaseous hydrogen, which means that methanol has great potential to be a convenient carrier of hydrogen. The effects of impurities contained in the reformate gas are generally introduced. After the methanol steam reforming and pretreatment purification processes, the reformate gas can be fed to PEM fuel cells. Thus, a fuel cell system integrated with onboard hydrogen production and impure hydrogen treatment subsystems is introduced, and key technologies therein for pretreatment purification and in-situ poisoning mitigation methods are reviewed. Finally, suggestions are proposed for further studies.

振动引起的界面切向相对运动对摩擦的影响

为了研究接触界面振动对摩擦的影响, 自主设计实验装置, 以在振动台上匀速滑动的滑块为对象, 采用理论与实验相结合的方法, 分析法向振动和切向振动引起界面切向运动减摩的机理。实验结果表明, 振动台的法向振动和切向振动经常同时存在。当界面振动, 且滑块与振动台之间的切向相对速度方向不变时, 滑块受到的平均滑动摩擦力与无振动时相同, 没有减摩作用; 当滑块与振动台之间切向相对速度的方向发生周期性变化或存在stick-slip (黏滑)时, 与无振动时相比, 滑块的平均滑动摩擦力有明显的减摩作用。根据Coulomb摩擦定律建立动力学模型进行仿真, 仿真结果与实验结果非常吻合, 说明在界面运动为已知的条件下, Coulomb摩擦模型能够反映界面间的摩擦作用。实验和仿真结果表明, 当法向振动和切向振动同时存在时, 振动引起的界面切向相对运动造成摩擦力方向的周期性变化或stick-slip是减摩的主要原因。     

类脑导航中基于差分Hebbian学习的网格细胞构建模型

网格细胞是动物大脑中与空间认知和导航有关的重要神经元,具有拓展至整个空间的六边形放电野。位置细胞是网格细胞重要的信息源,可以通过Hebbian学习生成网格细胞,但是现有模型对Hebbian学习的脉冲自适应函数或学习窗函数做了预先的墨西哥帽模型假设。针对该问题提出一种基于差分Hebbian学习的位置细胞至网格细胞模型,利用细胞放电率的变化自发产生墨西哥帽模型的输入关联,然后通过对位置细胞至网格细胞的突触权重进行竞争性非线性限制,生成具有六边形放电野分布的网格细胞。仿真结果表明,该模型可以为无人运行体类脑导航系统的构建提供借鉴。
