被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:66.84(Chemistry, Physical)A multiscale water visualization technique for polymer electrolyte fuel cells was established by using multiprobe radiography with pulsed spallation neutron and synchrotron X-ray sources. The three-dimensional water distribution revealed that water back-diffusion from the cathode to the anode significantly contributes to the drainability of practical polymer electrolyte fuel cells toward fuel cell electric vehicles.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:26.88(Chemistry, Physical)The behavior of Br/Br redox mediator (RM), which has been shown to suppress charging overpotential in lithium-air batteries, has been detected for the first time using operando Br K-edge dispersive X-ray absorption fine structure. Br ions in the electrolyte increase monotonically after 30% charging, which indicates that a part of Br formed via the oxidation of Br during charging does not oxidize LiO as RM but gets accumulated in the cell. Consistent with this result, the O evolution efficiency gradually decreases from the initial 100% as the charging progresses, and CO is emitted at the end of the charging. All these results clearly show that the Br/Br RM functions effectively at the beginning of charging but gradually loses its function as charging proceeds.
