Thin Film Fuel Cell Catalyst Coating
Thin Film Fuel Cell Catalyst Coating – Ultrasonic Coating – Cheersonic
Fuel cell is an open thermodynamic technology. it is one of best efficient among the non-conventional sources which generate electricity and heat with the help of chemical reactions between oxygen and hydrogen and also it has only water in byproduct. More to basic the fuel of fuel cell is hydrogen fuel and hydrocarbon fuel is used and now it is the best substitute to fossil fuel for proving the energy to backward areas. moreover, fuel cell has many types e.g. “direct methanol fuel cell, alkaline fuel cell, phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC), molten carbonate fuel cell” etc. from these classified types of Fuel cell PAFC is best and reliable among these types due to its higher operating temperature. Fuel cell has capability of generating high electrical power with low operational noise but there are many limitations in getting fuel cells on the way, reliability of fuel cell because fuel cell has high cost per unit, low transient performance and can’t allow bidirectional flow of power.
Cheersonic’s line of XYZ motion ultrasonic coating systems offer unique options that enable us to customize these machines based on customers’ process requirements. They are ideal for Solar and Fuel Cell manufacturing as well as research and development coatings in different environments, from fully inert to high temperature needs or rotational Z-axis for rod-shaped substrates. Due to the characteristics of controllable film thickness and high uniformity, the durability and conductivity of the film electrode can be greatly improved.
Benefits of ultrasonic spray technology over other methods:
1.Very high Platinum utilization proven in MEA fabrication; as high as 90%.
2.Non-clogging
3.Low-flow spray reduces spillage and air pollution.
4.Continuous or intermittent operation possible
5.Highly porous coatings are extremely durable, preventing cracking or peeling of catalyst layer.
6.No moving parts to wear out
7.Minimal maintenance and downtime.
8.Robust design and materials resist corrosion.
9.Ultrasonic energy disperses the agglomerated particles, producing a homogeneous coating.
