Ionic liquids and ionic liquid acids with high temperature stability for fuel cell and other high temperature applications, method of making and cell employing same

Patent Angell, C Austen ; Xu, Wu ; Belieres, Jean-Philippe ; Yoshizawa, Masahiro

Disclosed are developments in high temperature fuel cells including ionic liquids with high temperature stability and the storage of inorganic acids as di-anion salts of low volatility. The formation of ionically conducting liquids of this type having conductivities of unprecedented magnitude for non-aqueous systems is described. The stability of the di-anion configuration is shown to play a role in the high performance of the non-corrosive proton-transfer ionic liquids as high temperature fuel cell electrolytes. Performance of simple H.sub.2(g) electrolyte/O.sub.2(g) fuel cells with the new electrolytes is described. Superior performance both at ambient temperature and temperatures up to and above 200.degree.more »« less

Functionalized graphene-Pt composites for fuel cells and photoelectrochemical cells

Patent Diankov, Georgi ; An, Jihwan ; Park, Joonsuk ; Goldhaber, David J. K. ; Prinz, Friedrich B.

A method of growing crystals on two-dimensional layered material is provided that includes reversibly hydrogenating a two-dimensional layered material, using a controlled radio-frequency hydrogen plasma, depositing Pt atoms on the reversibly hydrogenated two-dimensional layered material, using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), where the reversibly hydrogenated two-dimensional layered material promotes loss of methyl groups in an ALD Pt precursor, and forming Pt-O on the reversibly hydrogenated two-dimensional layered material, using combustion by O.sub.2, where the Pt-O is used for subsequent Pt half-cycles of the ALD process, where growth of Pt crystals occurs.

Methods for applying microchannels to separate methane using liquid absorbents, especially ionic liquid absorbents from a mixture comprising methane and nitrogen

Patent Tonkovich, Anna Lee Y ; Litt, Robert D ; Dongming, Qiu ; Silva, Laura J ; Lamont, Micheal Jay ; Fanelli, Maddalena ; Simmons, Wayne W ; Perry, Steven

Methods of using microchannel separation systems including absorbents to improve thermal efficiency and reduce parasitic power loss. Energy is typically added to desorb methane and then energy or heat is removed to absorb methane using a working solution. The working solution or absorbent may comprise an ionic liquid, or other fluids that demonstrate a difference in affinity between methane and nitrogen in a solution.
