Tuning the Electrical and Solar Thermal Heating Efficiencies of Nanocarbon Aerogels (2020)
Journal Article
Xia, D., Xu, Y., Mannering, J., Ma, X., Ismail, M. S., Borman, D., …Menzel, R. (2021). Tuning the Electrical and Solar Thermal Heating Efficiencies of Nanocarbon Aerogels. Chemistry of materials : a publication of the American Chemical Society, 33(1), 392-402. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.0c04166

Nanocarbon aerogels display outstanding electrical and solar thermal heating efficiencies. However, little is known about the relationship between their microstructure and the heating performance. In this study, two different types of carbon nanotube... Read More about Tuning the Electrical and Solar Thermal Heating Efficiencies of Nanocarbon Aerogels.

Effects of geometrical dimensions of flow channels of a large-active-area PEM fuel cell: A CFD study (2020)
Journal Article
Carcadea, E., Ismail, M. S., Ingham, D. B., Patularu, L., Schitea, D., Marinoiu, A., …Varlam, M. (2021). Effects of geometrical dimensions of flow channels of a large-active-area PEM fuel cell: A CFD study. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 46(25), 13572-13582. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2020.08.150

Various flow field designs have been numerically investigated to evaluate the effect of pattern and the cross-sectional dimensions of the channel on the performance of a large active area PEM fuel cell. Three types of multiple-serpentine channels (7-... Read More about Effects of geometrical dimensions of flow channels of a large-active-area PEM fuel cell: A CFD study.

Gram-scale synthesis of alkoxide-derived nitrogen-doped carbon foam as a support for Fe-N-C electrocatalysts (2020)
Journal Article
Mufundirwa, A., Harrington, G. F., Ismail, M. S., Šmid, B., Cunning, B. V., Shundo, Y., …Lyth, S. M. (2020). Gram-scale synthesis of alkoxide-derived nitrogen-doped carbon foam as a support for Fe-N-C electrocatalysts. Nanotechnology, 31(22), Article 225401. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6528/ab76ed

Non-platinum group metal (non-PGM) catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are set to reduce the cost of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEFCs) by replacing platinum at the cathode. We previously developed unique nitrogen-doped car... Read More about Gram-scale synthesis of alkoxide-derived nitrogen-doped carbon foam as a support for Fe-N-C electrocatalysts.
