Amino acid-derived imidazolium salts: platform molecules for N-Heterocyclic carbene metal complexes and organosilica materials
In the interest of producing functional catalysts from sustainable building-blocks, 1, 3-dicarboxylate imidazolium salts derived from amino acids were successfully modified to be suitable as N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands within metal complexes. Complexes of Ag(I), Pd(II), and Ir(I) were …

Model electrode structures for studies of electrocatalyst degradation
… and fuel flexibility. The most effective catalyst in these systems consists of nanoparticles of Pt or Pt-based alloys on carbon supports. Understanding the role of the nanoparticle size and structure on the catalytic activity and degradation is needed to optimize the fuel cell performance …

Health conscious energy management strategies for fuel cell/battery hybrid vehicles
… surface area (ECSA) which is mainly caused by catalyst (Platinum) dissolution. Different degradation factors affecting ECSA reduction were considered and included as additional costs in the power management strategies besides fuel and electricity consumption. The degradation models have been …
