Nanoframe Bifunctional Oxygen Electrodes for Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells

Abstract

Nanoframe Bifunctional Oxygen Electrodes for Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells. Unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs) with improved electrocatalysts provide significant potential benefits for air-independent unmanned undersea vehicles (UUV) and other applications. The project will develop nanoframe-supported catalysts as bifunctional oxygen electrodes. The project will determine the activity and stability of the nanoframe catalysts and determine the effects of temperature and composition. Texas State University is a Minority Institution, and this effort will increase participation of minorities in research relevant to the Navy.
