Development and Implementation of Carbon Nanofoam Cathode Structures for Magnesium-Hydrogen Peroxide Semi-Fuel Cells

Abstract

Magnesium/hydrogen peroxide (Mg-H2O2) semi-fuel cells are mission critical to the Navy as a primary power source for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV); consequently, this Trident project has sought to improve the electrochemical performance of Mg-H2O2 semi-fuel cells by fabricating porous carbon nanofoam composites as nanostructured electrode scaffolds for palladium nanoparticle electrocatalysts.
