There are four Editors' Choice papers on different topics that I would like to draw your attention to: (1) a comprehensive review providing an overview on mathematical modeling and applications of platinum catalysts for PEMFCs with ultra-low Pt loadings; (open access from Branko Popov's group) (2) a research paper reporting parameters to recycle Pt and Ru from fuel cell electrodes (Shuang Ma Andersen's group) (3) a pseudo-2D and two-phase model identifying output sensitivities to various model parameters for PEMFCs (open access from Tulga Ersal's group), and (4) a research paper demonstrating the feasibility of an up-scalable infiltration process to the Ni-YSZ electrode of SOFCs and SOECs (Ming Chen's Group).
We thank the reviewers and authors who contribute to the publications in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society.
From March 30-April 5, ECS will take down the paywall to the entire ECS Digital Library on IOPscience, making over 160,000 scientific articles and abstracts free and accessible to everyone. This is in support of ECS's long-term vision of Free the Science. Make the most of Free the Science Week by visiting today and making note of the papers you'd most like to download. Learn more!
With my best wishes!
