Main‐Chain Ion‐Pair Polybenzimidazole Membranes Enabling Reduced‐Temperature HT‐PEMFC Operation (Down to 120°C)

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Embedding imidazolium‐biphosphate ion pairs directly into the polybenzimidazole main chain simultaneously stabilizes phosphoric acid and preserves continuous proton transport pathways. Strong ion‐pair and hydrogen‐bond interactions suppress acid leaching while maintaining high conductivity, enabling stable and durable high‐temperature fuel cell ...

Transient modeling of extraction columns: Parameter estimation, uncertainty analysis, and operation optimization

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite extensive modeling efforts in extraction research, transient column models are rarely applied in industry due to concerns regarding parameter identifiability and model reliability. To address this, we analyzed uncertainty propagation from estimated parameters in a previously introduced column model and assessed identifiability via ill ...
