Abstract:
The current embodiment describes a process of flowing an oxidant species over the reducing side of an oxygen transport membrane. O 2- anions are then continuously transported from the reducing side through the oxygen transport membrane to the oxidizing side where an organic compound is converted to a partially oxidized organic compound on the oxidizing side.
Abstract:
A process of polymerizing formula f with formula g and formula h wherein the stoichiometric ratio of f = (g+h) and f, g and h are not equal to 0. This process can also have R1 selected from the group consisting of alkyl group, alkoxy group, aryl groups and combinations thereof. Additionally, x and y can be different from each other.
Abstract:
The present embodiment describes a method of forming different layers in a solid oxide fuel cell. The method begins by preparing slurries which are then delivered to a spray nozzle. The slurries are then atomized and sprayed subsequently onto a support to produce a layer which is then dried. In this embodiment different layers can comprise an anode, an electrode and a cathode. Also the support can be a metal or a metal oxide which is later removed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel method for preparing a BZCYYb material to be used in a solid oxide fuel cell. In particular, the method comprises mixing particular nano-sized and micro-sized ingredients and the size selection provides greatly improved performance characteristics of the resulting material. In particular, barium carbonate powder, zirconium oxide powder having particle diameters in the nanometer range, and cerium oxide powder having particle diameter in the micrometer range are used together with ytterbium oxide powder, and yttrium oxide powder.

A solid oxide fuel cell comprising an electrolyte, an anode and a cathode. In this fuel cell at least one electrode has been modified with a promoter using gas phase infiltration.
Abstract:
Methods, compositions and devices relate to photovoltaic cells having a photoactive layer (106) and constituents synthesized and utilized for the photoactive layer. The photovoltaic cells incorporate photoactive materials produced from dyads formed into an initial layer and then thermally cleaved to provide the photoactive layer. Cleavage of the dyads, such as synthesized fullerene anthracen- 2 -ylmethyl 3 - (thiophen-3 -yl) acetate dyads, or polymers of the dyads into separate molecules providing donors and acceptors facilitates in obtaining the photovoltaic cells with desired arrangement and interspacing of the donors and the acceptors relative to one another.
Abstract:
A method of producing a solid oxide fuel cell comprising tape casting an anode support and spraying layers onto the anode support. The layers that can be sprayed onto the anode support include an anode functional layer, an electrolyte layers, and a cathode functional layer.
