Recycling of Plastic Waste Used to Make Low-Cost Fuel Cells: plastic plasticwaste recycling fuelcells carbonnanotubes nanomaterials iScience_CP
By Surbhi JainAug 11 2022Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc. In an article recently published in the journal iScience, researchers discussed the utility of nickel-iron nanoparticles encased in waste plastic-derived carbon nanotubes for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells.
The high operating temperatures that result in performance degradation, technical complexity, financial obstacles, and a limited range of applications are a major hurdle for the classical solid oxide fuel cells. Around the world, significant efforts have been made to address these issues. Due to their low cost and quick startup, low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells are potential new generation fuel cells. However, they present a considerable challenge to electrode materials with strong electrocatalytic activity.
Utility of Non-Precious Metal Nanoparticles on the Performance of LT-SOFCs The team mentioned that the proposed approach could address the problems of sustainable waste management and ensure the security of the world's energy supply at the same time by upcycling waste plastics to create nanocomposites and exhibit a high-performance LT-SOFCs system.
Performance Characteristics of [email protected] LT-SOFCs For [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected], respectively, the work function of graphene was improved from 5.05 electronVolt to 5.72 electronVolt and 6.60 electronVolt.
With a maximum power density value of 885 milliWatt centimeter-2 at 500 °C, [email protected] as an electrode additive demonstrated impressive low-temperature solid oxide fuel cell performance. This was primarily because of their electrical conductivity and effective agglomeration prevention.
