Boosted high-throughput D⁺ transfer from D₂O to unsaturated bonds via Pdδ+ cathode for solvent-free deuteration by Xiu-Feng Zhang, Shi-Nan Zhang, Zhao Zhang, Bing-Liang Leng, Kai-Yuan Lu, Jie-Sheng Chen, Xin-Hao Li

“…Electrochemical deuteration using D₂O is promising, but existing methods still suffer from low Faradaic efficiency (FE) and high separation costs. Herein, we report a deuterium ion diffusion-based all-solid electrolyser, featuring a RuO₂ anode for D+ generation from pure D2O and a Pd/nitrogen-doped carbon-based liquid diffusion cathode (Pdδ+/NC LDC) with tunable electron deficiencies Pdδ+/NC to enhance selective deuteration. …”

CFD-Guided Design of Non-Uniform Flow Channels in PEMFCs for Waste Heat Utilization in District Heating Networks by Dai Cui, Dong Liu, Peng Yu, Jiayi Li, Zhi Zhou, Meishan Zhang, Qun Chen, Fang Yuan

“…Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), recognized as promising sources of waste heat for space heating, domestic hot water supply, and industrial thermal applications, have garnered substantial interest owing to their environmentally benign operation and high energy conversion efficiency. Since the uniformity of oxygen diffusion toward catalytic layers critically governs electrochemical performance, this study establishes a three-dimensional, non-isothermal computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to systematically optimize the cathode flow channel width distribution, targeting the maximization of power output through enhanced reactant homogeneity. …”
