2014 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Alkaline Electrochemical Systems: Fundamental Advances in Materials and Devices

This symposium will feature fundamental and applied aspects of energy conversion and storage based on alkaline electrochemical systems. The alkaline environment offers scientific and technological advantages over other systems in terms of transport in electrolytes, electrocatalysts, and systems parameters. Of special interest are anion conductive electrolytes and ionomers, such as for fuel cells and electrolyzers, electrocatalysts enabling new fuels or electrode reactions, and other electrochemical devices or advances at high pH. Research into electrolytes, anion exchange membrane stability and transport (modeling and experimental studies) are important contributions to this field.
