Funded Activity Summary
TAILORING OF CARBON MATERIALS FOR USE IN DIRECT CARBON FUEL CELLS. This project aims to develop a fundamental understanding of and methods for tailoring carbon materials to be used in high efficiency (80-85%) direct carbon fuel cells (DCFC). This project addresses an important area in clean and efficient energy supply to meet the World's long-term energy and environmental requirements. Specifically, we aim to focus on the carbon particulates based on carbon black materials with a turbostratic structure, and to investigate the relationship between the microstructures of synthetic carbon black materials and their efficacy in DCFC systems. Ultimately, we aim to engineer novel carbon particulates for use in DCFCs.Funded Activity Details
