A recent publication in Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy introduces an innovative approach to one of the most persistent challenges in PEM fuel cells: water management under practical operating conditions. In this work, Quentin Meyer, Ying Da Wang, Daniel Niblett, Chuan Zhao, and their team at the University of New South Wales engineered a […]
We are excited to spotlight new research published by Magdalena Warczak, Katarzyna Belka, Weronika Urbańska, and team demonstrating the use of Scribner analysis software alongside an Ivium potentiostat to study electrocatalysts derived from recycled battery materials. In the study “Lithium-ion battery waste as a robust oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalyst for seawater splitting”, researchers investigated the
We are proud to spotlight innovative research from Maosong Liu, Zhihao Lei, Xianhe Lv, Shuhui Sun, and their collaborators, who developed a sustainable and highly durable SiO₂/Fe-N₄ oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst derived from coffee grounds and industrial spent acid residue. By pairing waste-derived carbon supports with strategically integrated SiO₂ nanoparticles adjacent to single-atom Fe-N₄ active sites, the
We are proud to spotlight cutting-edge research published by Huiqi Li, Rui Zeng, David Muller, Hector Abruna, and their team at Cornell University. Their work advances the rational design of high-performance, low-loading oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts for alkaline fuel cells using Scribner’s 850 Fuel Cell Test System. This work establishes clear design principles for overcoming sluggish ORR kinetics in alkaline environments—one of
We’re proud to spotlight the outstanding work of Kritika Sharma, Suchithra Ashoka Sahadevan, and Prof. Vijay Ramani at Washington University in St. Louis. Using Scribner’s 850 Fuel Cell Test System with back pressure control unit, the team developed a pulsed oxidation-driven catalyst regeneration strategy to enable carbon monoxide–tolerant, low-temperature electrochemical hydrogen pumping. Key Insights: Dynamic voltage-triggered pulsing achieved >10% higher separation efficiency (SE) and >15% higher energy efficiency (EE) compared
We’re excited to highlight the work of Tangfei Zheng, Jing Xie, Wei Ding, and their team at the Center of Advanced Electrochemical Energy, Chongqing University. Through an iterative testing strategy using Scribner’s 740 Membrane Test System, 850 Fuel Cell Test System, and 885 Potentiostat, the team investigated how ionomer degradation affects PEM fuel cell (PEMFC)
We’re proud to highlight the excellent work of Xing Li, Charles B. Musgrave III, Andong Liu, Prof. William A. Goddard III, and Prof. Yayuan Liu at Johns Hopkins University. Using Scribner’s inert redox flow cell fixture, the team developed a novel method of capturing CO2 via redox-tunable acid mediated amine regeneration (RAMAR). Key Highlights: Demonstrated
We’re proud to spotlight the innovative work of Harsh Srivastav, Arthur Dizon, Adam Weber, Rangachary Mukundan, and their team at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The team monitored degradation of membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) from fuel cell buses using in situ polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), conducted on Scribner 850 and 840 test stations
