Catalyst for fuel cell applications

Catalyst for fuel cell applications

Problem A leading solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) manufacturer required a low-cost catalyst that can operate in their portable, light-weight fuel cell for sustainable electricity generation. Why is it a challenge? Fuel cells convert chemical energy to electrical energy...
Characterisation-directed kilo catalyst scale-up

Characterisation-directed kilo catalyst scale-up

Problem A leading European research institution required manufacturing 10 kg of bespoke catalyst for a pilot test. The catalyst preparation procedure was based on a 10 g laboratory-scale process that required developing a scale-up approach. Is the 10 kilo scale a...
Coating methodologies for new processes

Coating methodologies for new processes

Problem A major company was developing a novel reactor and required synthesis of thermally-conductive catalyst-coated tubes. These reactors applied to a gas-phase process would minimise heat and mass transfer compared to powdered catalyst. The resulting benefits...
