- AN-CIC-031Sulfur determination in ammonia gas applying Combustion IC
Sulfur species are critical contaminants in ammonia gas. They can cause high-temperature sulfidation of metals, form aggressive complexes with other elements, or react subsequently in processes where the ammonia gas is used. The concentration of such impurities tends to be very low, but they may not exceed critical levels of 0.5 mg/L. Although this level is very close to the system blank of the Combustion IC system, the setup can be used to prove that such critical limits are not exceeded.

- AN-EC-014Oxygen Reduction Reaction with the Rotating Ring Disk Electrode
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is important to the functional readiness of a fuel cell.

Mechanistic information is simultaneously obtained from the reaction of intermediates at the secondary (ring) electrode. This application note describes how the RRDE from Metrohm Autolab can be used to study the ORR.

A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device that produces electricity and heat by electrochemically combining a fuel (typically hydrogen) and an oxidant (typically oxygen). The higher efficiency also results in much lower carbon dioxide emissions and negligible amounts of SOx and NOx (when reformed fuel is used) compared with fossil fuel-based technologies for the same power output.

The use of impedance measurements on fuel cells under load makes it possible to study the influence of the different fuel cell elements on the behavior and (if detectable) on the ageing of the fuel cell. To perform high current density measurements, the Autolab systems can be connected to a third party electronic load. This extends the measurable range of the instrument by several current decades.

The operational behavior of a fuel cell stack is usually evaluated by determining the polarization and power density curves of the cell. These curves provide a quick characterization of the stack performance and an assessment of its optimal operating conditions (temperature, humidity, electrocatalyst, ion-exchange membrane).
