| Popis: | Energy currently is one of the most important issues in the world. This has led to a focus on obtaining it in a very different way due to the difficulty of producing oil and the damage that obtaining and using oil causes to the environment. In terms of environmental health, one of the ideal sources that can be converted into electrical, mechanical, and heat energy is hydrogen. By using pure hydrogen in fuel cell models, efficient, reliable, and clean energy can be obtained. The leading fuel sources are alcohols (methanol-ethanol) and their derivatives, and this chapter deals with direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs), which use alcohol as the fuel and air as the oxidant. One of the basic factors affecting the performance of DAFCs is the selection and development of suitable catalysts. In this chapter, the importance of material development and characterization methods for DAFCs and the use of nanomaterials in this sense are discussed. © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
