This paper focuses on designing a power allocation strategy for a fuel cell ship. The performance of the fuel cell varies during operation, so a power allocation strategy considering fuel cell performance differences is proposed, which consists of two layers. In the first layer, the maximum power and maximum efficiency of each fuel cell system (FCS) are updated in real-time with an online parameter identification model, which is composed of the fuel cell semi-empirical model and adaptive Kalman filter. The second layer takes the state of charge of the battery energy storage system, the maximum power, and the maximum efficiency as inputs for power allocation. Compared with the equal allocation strategy and daisy chain strategy, the total hydrogen consumption reduces by 5.3% and 15.1% and the total output power of the FCS with poor performance reduces by 14.1% and 15.7%. The results show that the proposed method can improve the efficiency of the ship power system and reduce the operational burden of the FCS with poor performance.

Dissociation of hydrogen and formation of water at the (010) and (111) surfaces of orthorhombic FeNbO4.

The orthorhombic structure of FeNbO4, where the Fe and Nb cations are distributed randomly over the octahedral 4c sites, has shown excellent promise as an anode material in solid oxide fuel cells. We have used DFT+U-D2 calculations to explore the adsorption and dissociation of H2 molecules and the formation reaction of water at the (010) and (111) surfaces. Simulations of the surface properties confirmed that the bandgaps are significantly reduced compared to the bulk material.

Direct formate fuel cells (DFFCs) have received increasing attention due to their environmentally benign and highly safe characteristics. However, the absence of highly active electrocatalysts for the formate oxidation reaction (FOR) restricts their widespread application. Currently, the design of FOR catalysts, which relies on experimental trial-and-error and high-throughput DFT calculations, is costly and time-consuming.

The two-dimensional lamellar materials disperse platinum sites and minimize noble-metal usage for fuel cells, while mass transport resistance at the stacked layers spurs device failure with a significant performance decline in membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Herein, we implant porous and rigid sulfonated covalent organic frameworks (COF) into the graphene-based catalytic layer for the construction of steric mass-charge channels, which highly facilitates the activity of oxygen reduction reactions in both the rotating disk electrode (RDE) measurements and MEA device tests. Specifically, the normalized mass activity is remarkably boosted by 3.

Template-free synthesis of a multilayer manganese oxide/graphene oxide nanoflake-modified carbon felt as an anode material for microbial fuel cells.

A novel multilayer nanoflake structure of manganese oxide/graphene oxide (γ-MnO/GO) was fabricated a simple template-free chemical precipitation method, and the modified carbon felt (CF) electrode with γ-MnO/GO composite was used as an anode material for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The characterization results revealed that the γ-MnO/GO composite has a novel multilayer nanoflake structure and offers a large specific surface area for bacterial adhesion. The electrochemical analyses demonstrated that the γ-MnO/GO composite exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity and enhanced the electrochemical reaction rate and reduced the electron transfer resistance, consequently facilitating extracellular electron transfer (EET) between the anode and bacteria.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have garnered significant attention from researchers as an innovative and environmentally friendly method for the treatment of urban and industrial wastewater. The type and material of the electrode are critical factors affecting the efficiency and energy production of this process. The electrodeposition method was employed to dope nickel (Ni) and modify the surface of graphite plates (GP) and carbon felt (CF).
