In this study, electrodeposited RuO2 xH2O-Pt/C was prepared to promote the PEM fuel cell dynamic response performance. The prepared RuO2 xH2O-Pt/C was characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） equipped with energy disperse spectroscopy （EDS）, which shows that RuO2 xH2O was electrodeposited on the surface of Pt/C. Performance of single cells with and without RuO2 xH2O-Pt/C at the cathode under a certain operating condition was studied using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectra （EIS） and polarization curve techniques. When the fuel cell modified with RuO2 xH2O-Pt/C was operated at lower pressure, a faster and more stable dynamic response could be found. Modifying with RuO2 xH2O-Pt/C composite material not only slightly increases the single cell performance but also dramatically improves the dynamic response performance, revealing that RuO2 xH2O-Pt/C can buffer the voltage undershoot whenever the current increases instantly.展开更多

Based on the new understanding of the scattering coefficients, contents of various structural entities in acidic NaF-AlF3 melts at 942-1 024 ℃ in previous research were reanalyzed. The new quantitative analysis results show that when cryolite ratio（CR） is less than 2, AlF4- is the dominant anion in the melts, and its mole fraction is about 0.70 for melts with CR=1.5 and 0.50 for melts with CR=2. When CR is more than 2.5, the mole fraction of AlF6^3- is relatively large, which is around 0.45 for melts with CR=2.5. Ionic structure of Na3AlF6-Al2O3 melts was investigated by UV-Raman spectroscopy. Octahedral AlF6^3- and tetrahedral AlF4- are proved to exist with possible partial replacement of F- by O^2-. Al2O2F4^2- with a large scattering coefficient also exists in the melts in which alumina concentration is more than 4% （mass fraction）. The increase of temperature causes blue-shift of the bands in the Raman spectra.展开更多
