Aluminium + Diamond-Like Carbon for Next-Gen Hydrogen Fuel Cells

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

Our latest study just dropped as a preprint on the SSRN server: Is Nitrogen Doping of Diamond-Like Carbon Films a Viable Strategy for Bipolar Plates in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells? 💡 In this work, we challenge the idea that nitrogen doping improves Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings. Using a combination of electrochemical testing, electron microscopy, … Continue reading Aluminium + Diamond-Like Carbon for Next-Gen Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Aluminium is the Game-Changer for Hydrogen-Based Fuel Cells

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

I am happy to share our newest paper on materials for emerging hydrogen-based fuel cell technologies. I am particularly happy with this study as it is my first paper as a mentor!!! I have been mentoring Dr. Felipe Carneiro da Silva. He is a lecturer and a gifted scientist. He works at the São Paulo … Continue reading Aluminium is the Game-Changer for Hydrogen-Based Fuel Cells

Functionally Graded Materials for Fuel Cells Applications

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

Our paper on the corrosion resistance of constant and functionally graded TiN coatings is now online! In this paper we have discovery an interesting relationship between electron energy loss spectroscopy and corrosion resistance: functionally graded materials can be engineered so that they have a gradient of valence electrons along the coating profile. The less electrons … Continue reading Functionally Graded Materials for Fuel Cells Applications
