    Energy Harvesting and Storage Devices Sustainable Materials and Methods, 2023
    An ever-increasing societal demand for energy necessitates long-term energy production and storage systems. Energy conversion aids in the substitution of renewable energy for non-renewable resources. Fuel cells are a promising technology for energy conversion in an area dominated by aging technologies like the internal combustion and steam turbines, which must be replaced in order for the energy industry to decarbonize. Fuel cells have numerous advantages over existing technologies, including great energy efficiency, incredibly low emission levels, minimal noise levels, and adaptability. Energy storage has various substantial advantages, including better power supply consistency, power distribution reliability, and so on. It became a major area of research for both industry and academia in recent years as the energy problem has intensified. Supercapacitors are appealing to a wide range of new mobile devices for overcoming energy storage and harvesting challenges. This book chapter presents an overview of fuel cell technology and supercapacitor devices, including history, structure, working principle, classification, various types of electrode materials, classification of electrolytes, design and applications. Further, current progress in fuel cell and supercapacitor applications using novel materials are discussed. This book chapter also covers technology challenges/advances along with limitations of fuel cells as well as supercapacitors.

    Wastewater treatment has become an essential part of industrial operations. A proper treatment is required to discharge this wastewater in to water bodies. Pesticide production is one of the major supporting factors to the agriculture field, since India is an agricultural based economy. The pesticide industry wastewater (PIW) contains chlorinated toxic pollutants. Treatment of such type of wastewater using conventional treatment methods might have their limitations due to the presence of toxic compounds, time consumption and complexity of the treatment process. In the past few years, the electrochemical method (Electrocoagulation (EC)/Electro oxidation (EO)) has been proposed as an effective method to treat many types of industrial effluents. In the present study, the treatment of pesticide processing industrial waste water has been carried out using electrochemical method and with combination of other advanced methods.

    Abstract:: Hydrogen is considered as a fuel of future due to its environmental cleanness. Thermo Catalytic Decomposition of Methane (TCD) is one of the most advanced process, which will meet the future demand and attractive route for COx free production of hydrogen. In this study, an attempt made using flame synthesized titanium nanorods as a catalyst support for nickel based catalyst to produce hydrogen. The comparison study between Ni/TiO2 and Ni/Flame synthesized TiO2 (Ni/F-TiO2) catalysts for hydrogen production using thermocatalytic decomposition of methane. The effect of nickel weight percentage (10%, 20%, 30% and 40 wt %) and reaction temperature (650, 700, 750 and 800 °C) with Ni/TiO2 and Ni/F-TiO2 catalysts were performed for hydrogen production studies at 54sccm flowrate of methane. The maximum hydrogen production was observed with 30 wt% of Ni/TiO2 and 30 wt% of Ni/F-TiO2 as 48 and 55 vol% at 700 °C in 60min of reaction time. Before and after the reaction, catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET surface area, SEM, TEM and AAS analysis. Apart from hydrogen production, carbon nanorods were observed with a diameter and length of 5–10 nm and 0.25 μm respectively for Ni/TiO2 and for Ni/F-TiO2 catalyst, it was found to be 50–100 nm and 0.5 μm respectively.

    South African Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2018
    Alkaline water electrolysis is one of the most efficient methods for the hydrogen production. In this method widely used as the asbestos membrane as a separator, but this material is hazardous for health, causing cancer, in order to limit the usage of an asbestos separator. In this present study, a novel TiO2 composite membrane was synthesized from polysulfone (PSF), PVP and titanium oxide (TiO2) by phase inversion precipitation technique. The synthesized membranes were characterized by FT-IR, FE-SEM and XRD techniques. Further, membranes electrolysis performance studied in in-house fabricated small scale alkaline water electrolyser experimental setup of a 10 cm2 cell. These synthesized membranes were effectively improved the hydrogen production rate and purity compared to conventional asbestos separators. A current density of 600 mA/cm2 along with 30 ml/min hydrogen with 99.9% purity was obtained when operating the cell in 30 wt% KOH and 80 °C at 2 V. In electrolysis process, various experimental parameters considered such as an effect of temperature (30–80 °C) and KOH concentration (5–30 wt %) were studied. Hydrogen quantity measured by liquid displacement unit, purity determined by ENDEE portable hydrogen gas analyzer and gas chromatographic (GC) techniques. These synthesized composite membranes are low cost and showed excellent electrochemical performance and stability in alkaline medium.
  • Sustainable fuel production by thermocatalytic decomposition of methane – A review
    K. Srilatha, D. Bhagawan, S. Shiva Kumar, V. Himabindu
    South African Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2017
    Thermocatalytic Decomposition of Methane (TCD) is a completely green single step technology for producing hydrogen and carbon nanomaterials. This paper review about the research in laboratory-scale on TCD, specifically the recent advances like co-feeding effect and regeneration of catalyst for enhancing the productivity of the entire process. Although a remarkable success on the laboratory-scale has been fulfilled, TCD for free greenhouse gas (GHG) hydrogen production is still in its infancy. The necessity for commercialization of TCD is more than ever in the present-day condition of massive GHG emission. TCD generally studied over several types of catalysts, for example mono, bi, trimetallic, combination of metal–metal oxide, carbon and metal doped carbon catalysts. Catalyst Deactivation is the main problem found in TCD process. Regeneration of catalyst and co-feeding of methane with other hydrocarbon are the two main solutions placed helped in accordance to overcome deactivation problem. Higher amount of co-feed hydrocarbon in situ produce more amount of highly active carbon deposits which support further methane decomposition to produce extra hydrogen. The conversion rate of methane increases with increasing temperature and decreases with the flow rate in the co-feeding process in a comparable manner as observed in normal TCD. The presence of co-components in the post-reaction stream is an important challenge attempted in the co-feeding and regeneration.
