20140076743 | METAL HYDRIDES WITH EMBEDDED METAL STRUCTURES FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE - One illustrative embodiment includes materials and devices including an integrated hydrogen storage structure including a plurality of continuously connected thermally conductive elongated members, the elongated members including continuously connected openings between the elongated members; and, a metal hydride material contacting the elongated members and disposed within the connected openings and surrounding the elongated members. | 03-20-2014 |
20140220237 | METHODS FOR FABRICATING INORGANIC PROTON-CONDUCTING COATINGS FOR FUEL-CELL MEMBRANES - The present invention provides methods for fabricating a fuel cell membrane structure that can dramatically reduce fuel crossover, thereby improving fuel cell efficiency and power output. Preferred composite membrane structures include an inorganic layer situated between the anode layer and the proton-exchange membrane. The inorganic layer can conduct protons in unhydrated form, rather than as hydronium ions, which reduces fuel crossover. Some methods of this invention include certain coating steps to effectively deposit an inorganic layer on an organic proton-exchange membrane. | 08-07-2014 |
