Youveim® E246 PtRu Black - Nickel Fiber Paper Electrode

Description:

The Youveim® E246 PtRu Black - Nickel Fiber Paper Electrode is designed for advanced electrochemical applications, particularly in fuel cells and catalytic processes requiring high tolerance to carbon monoxide (CO) and enhanced catalytic activity. This electrode consists of platinum-ruthenium (PtRu) black, a high-surface-area catalyst, uniformly coated onto a nickel fiber paper substrate. The PtRu black catalyst is known for its ability to efficiently catalyze the oxidation of methanol and resist poisoning by CO. The nickel fiber paper substrate provides excellent electrical conductivity, flexibility, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for long-term use in harsh environments.

Features:

• PtRu Black Catalyst: The PtRu black catalyst has a high surface area, which increases the number of active sites available for catalytic reactions, particularly in fuel cell applications.
• Improved CO Tolerance: The addition of ruthenium to platinum enhances the electrode’s ability to resist poisoning by CO, a common byproduct in fuel cell reactions, particularly in methanol-based systems.
• Strong Adhesion: The PtRu black catalyst is strongly bonded to the nickel fiber substrate, ensuring uniform and stable catalytic performance throughout its lifecycle.
• Corrosion-Resistant Substrate: The nickel fiber paper provides excellent corrosion resistance, making the electrode suitable for use in both acidic and alkaline environments.

• Flexible and Conductive: The nickel fiber substrate is both flexible and highly conductive, enabling smooth electron transfer and easy integration into various fuel cell designs.

Advantages:

• High Catalytic Activity: The PtRu black catalyst offers superior catalytic efficiency, particularly for methanol oxidation reactions (MOR) and carbon monoxide tolerance, crucial for fuel cell performance.
• Long-Term Stability: The combination of PtRu black and nickel fiber ensures long-term durability, even in the presence of harsh operating conditions such as acidic or alkaline environments.
• Enhanced Methanol Oxidation Performance: The PtRu black catalyst significantly improves the oxidation of methanol, reducing performance losses due to CO poisoning, which is common in methanol-based systems.
• Efficient Gas and Ion Transport: The porous structure of the nickel fiber substrate allows for efficient mass transfer, enhancing the overall electrochemical performance.

• Versatile Design: The lightweight, flexible nature of the nickel fiber paper makes it suitable for integration into compact or flexible fuel cell systems.

Applications:

• Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFCs): The Youveim® E246 PtRu Black electrode is specifically optimized for DMFCs, where methanol oxidation and CO tolerance are critical to efficient performance.
• Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs): This electrode is also effective in PEMFCs, especially in systems using CO-containing fuels or experiencing high levels of CO production.
• Electrocatalysis: Ideal for catalytic processes involving methanol, ethanol, or other carbon-containing fuels, owing to its high catalytic activity and resistance to poisoning.
• Hydrogen Production: Suitable for water electrolysis systems, particularly where methanol is used, as the PtRu black catalyst provides high efficiency in hydrogen generation.

• Electrochemical Sensors: The high surface area and catalytic performance make this electrode suitable for detecting alcohols, gases, or other compounds in electrochemical sensors.

The Youveim® E246 PtRu Black - Nickel Fiber Paper Electrode offers a powerful and durable solution for fuel cells and other electrochemical systems, where high catalytic performance, CO tolerance, and long-term stability are essential.
