Why Study Fuel Cells

Why Study Fuel Cells – Coated Membranes – Cheersonic

Hydrogen fuel cells have the advantages of high fuel energy conversion rate, low noise and zero emissions, and can be widely used in automobiles, airplanes, trains and other vehicles as well as stationary power stations. Since the application of fuel cells in manned spaceflight, underwater submarines, and distributed power stations, fuel cells have always attracted the attention of governments and enterprises in various countries. As the scale of energy technology increases, the entire upstream power structure will become cleaner and cleaner. Fuel cells have several advantages over conventional combustion technologies currently used in many power plants and passenger vehicles:

First, the power generation efficiency is as high as 50% to 60%. If it can be combined to form a cycle power generation system, its power generation efficiency can be as high as 70% or more;

Second, compared with traditional thermal power generation, fuel cells are less polluting to the environment;

Third, because the fuel cell has few internal components, it will not generate a lot of noise during operation, and the general noise is 50dB-70dB.

Cheersonic’s fuel cell catalyst coating systems are uniquely suited for these challenging applications by creating highly uniform, repeatable, and durable coatings. Using the company’s patented ultrasonic spray head technology, it can spray uniformly and efficiently on proton exchange membranes and gas diffusion layers. Uniform catalyst coatings are deposited onto PEM fuel cells, GDLs, electrodes, various electrolyte membranes, and solid oxide fuel cells with suspensions containing carbon black inks, PTFE binder, ceramic slurries, platinum and other precious metals. Other metal alloys, including Platinum, Nickel, Ir, and Ru-based fuel cell catalyst coatings of metal oxide suspensions can be sprayed using ultrasonics for manufacturing PEM fuel cells, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, DMFCs (Direct Methanol Fuel Cells) and SOFCs (Solid Oxide Fuel Cells) to create maximum load and high cell efficiency.

The advantages of Cheersonic’s ultrasonic equipment include：

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.
