Herein, we present a hybrid polymer material with phosphonic acid and sulfonic acid moieties on a poly(pentafluorostyrene) backbone utilizing the SAr Michaelis-Arbuzov and the -fluoro-thiol reaction. Blending the hybrid material with a benzimidazole polymer yielded a mechanically stable membrane featuring proton conductivities up to three times higher than conventional Nafion N211 at temperatures above 120 °C.

Hydrogenation saturation of phenanthrene (a typical component of coal tar) could not only improve the combustion performance of fuel oil, but also obtain the raw material for preparing high-energy-density fuel. Nickel-based catalysts have been considered promising catalysts for the hydrogenation saturation of phenanthrene due to their appealing capacity to activate phenanthrene molecules. However, the Ni derivation precursor greatly affects its hydrogenation activity.

While investigating fossil fuel alternatives, phase change materials (PCMs) are promising for thermal energy storage (TES) applications because of their high renewable energy storage density, constant phase transition temperature, affordable pricing, non-toxic nature, etc. However, several limitations, including liquid leakage, phase separation, supercooling, low thermal conductivity, and unalterable melting temperature, offer a challenge in their utilization. While numerous studies have addressed these issues, there is no universal solution for PCM challenges.

Protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) should exhibit high performance at intermediate temperatures in the range of 400-600 °C. To reduce the operating temperature, more active air electrodes (positrodes) are needed. In the present work, BaCoFeMgYO (BCFMY) is investigated as a positrode material for application in PCFCs as well as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).

This study focuses on developing fuel cell power technology for charging superconducting coils using variable resistor. For this purpose, a variable resistor is fabricated, and experimental equipment is built to control the amount of current applied to the superconducting coil by fixing the amount of gas supplied to the fuel cell and adjusting its driving voltage. The current and magnetic flux densities increase and decrease depending on the variable resistor.
