Electrode Surface Modification for Cathode Catalysis in Semi-Fuel Cells

The program objective is to identify the optimum conditions for fabricating a stable electrocatalytic cathode of palladium and iridium that will: improve the cathode polarization potential, diminish the heterogeneous decomposition and direct chemical reactions and significantly improve (gain of 50%)...

Description
Summary:The program objective is to identify the optimum conditions for fabricating a stable electrocatalytic cathode of palladium and iridium that will: improve the cathode polarization potential, diminish the heterogeneous decomposition and direct chemical reactions and significantly improve (gain of 50%) the overall electrochemical cell efficiency. The second objective is to evaluate the electrochemical performance of the catalyzed cathode. The third objective is to characterize the structure and composition of the catalytic surface.
