Semi-Analytical Methodology to Correct Polarization Curve to Measure Tafel Slope for an Electronic Resistance Laden Catalyst Layer by Yadul Sethi, Yan-Sheng Li, Bharatkumar Suthar

“…For a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), such losses typically arise from proton transport losses in the membrane, transport and kinetic losses in the catalyst layers, electronic transport losses in the cell components like flow-fields and the gas diffusion layers, and mass transport losses. For a mass-transport-free PEMFC operation, a previously established method corrects the polarization curve to obtain the Tafel slope of the oxygen reduction reaction for a catalyst layer without electronic transport resistance (e.g., Pt/C catalyst layer). …”

Hydrogen Adsorption on Solid and Liquid Surfaces of Ga–Sn and Ga–In by Charlie Ruffman, Samuel R. B. Case, Tom Grayson, Nicola Gaston

“…However, the mobility of hydrogen on the liquid surface is much greater due to a novel mechanism whereby the dynamic surface rearranges, opening pathways for diffusion. The results suggest that the unique catalytic behavior of these liquid metal materials may be due to changes in adsorbate diffusivity when the metals are melted.…”
