Dear Colleagues,
This week I would like to draw your attention to the following papers:
(1) Ionomer content in PGM-Free Electrode. A research paper to elucidate the relationship between the performance of PGM-free cathode and its ionomer content. Figure 6 presents a trade-off between the bulk mass-transport and proton-migration resistance as a function of relative humidity. (Contact author: K.C. Neyerlin at kenneth.neyerlin@nrel.gov)
(2) Flattened tubular SOFCs: Simulation and analysis of thermal stress distribution in and cell performance of flattened tubular SOFCs (a unique cell design) with Z-type and serpentine-type gas channels. (Contact authors: Wanbing Guan at wbguan@nimte.ac.cn and Zheng Zhong at zhongzheng@hit.edu.cn)
During this ever-changing period, I wish you stay safe, pay attention to your health, and make good decisions at work and in life.
With my best wishes!
