NANOMATERIALS FOR ALCOHOL FUEL CELLS, cilt.49, ss.1-78, 2019 (SCI-Expanded)
Carbon is a unique material for utilization in direct alcohol fuel cells as catalyst support material due to its outstanding properties including high surface area and high electrical conductivity, which are the most crucial properties for fuel cell applications. This chapter focused on the carbon-based nanomaterials used as catalyst support material in most studied directs of alcohol fuel cells especially for direct ethanol, methanol fuel cells, and other alcohol fuel cells. The targeted carbon-based nanomaterials include carbon black, carbon nanotubes, carbon gels, graphene, mesoporous carbon, and heteroatom-doped carbon nanomaterials.
