Biological fuel cells have a long history in the literature,1-3 but in recent years, they have come to prominence as more conventional fuel cell technologies have approached mass-market acceptance. Driving the recent ascendance of biofuel cells are the aspects of biocatalysis that are unmatched by conventional low-temperature oxidation-reduction catalysts, namely, activity at near-room temper…
ABSTRACT Ruthenium oxide materials were evaluated as possible non-carbon-based supports for fuel cell catalysts. The effects of composition and morphology of ruthenium oxide materials on the conductivity and corrosion stability in the gas-diffusion electrode (GDE) configuration were thoroughly investigated. The compositions of the bulk and surface of three ruthenium oxide materials, along wit…
