Oxygen Ion Conducting Materials

View page
US Patent:
6521202, Feb 18, 2003
Filed:
Jun 28, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/344859
Inventors:
John Vaughey - Elmhurst IL
Michael Krumpelt - Naperville IL
Xiaoping Wang - Downers Grove IL
J. David Carter - Bolingbrook IL
Assignee:
University of Chicago - Chicago IL
International Classification:
C01G 4512
US Classification:
423599, 502303, 502324, 429220, 429223, 429224, 429229
Abstract:
An oxygen ion conducting ceramic oxide that has applications in industry including fuel cells, oxygen pumps, oxygen sensors, and separation membranes. The material is based on the idea that substituting a dopant into the host perovskite lattice of (La,Sr)MnO that prefers a coordination number lower than 6 will induce oxygen ion vacancies to form in the lattice. Because the oxygen ion conductivity of (La,Sr)MnO is low over a very large temperature range, the material exhibits a high overpotential when used. The inclusion of oxygen vacancies into the lattice by doping the material has been found to maintain the desirable properties of (La,Sr)MnO , while significantly decreasing the experimentally observed overpotential.

Free-Standing Monolithic Catalyst With Micro-Scale Channel Dimensions

View page
US Patent:
6670305, Dec 30, 2003
Filed:
May 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/851843
Inventors:
John David Carter - Bolingbrook IL
Michael Krumpelt - Naperville IL
Shabbir Ahmed - Naperville IL
Assignee:
The University of Chicago - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B01J 2104
US Classification:
50252711, 50252712
Abstract:
A monolithic catalyst with micro-scale flow channels and methods of making such a monolithic catalyst are provided. The monolithic catalyst includes a plurality of thin catalyst walls. The walls have a set thickness in a range from 1 to 150 m. The thin catalyst walls define a plurality of flow channels. A fugitive material is used to form the flow channels. The flow channels have a set width in a range from 1 to 200 m. The flow channels are formed by an organic fugitive material, which burns off during processing. By using the thin catalyst walls and flow channels having a set width in a range from 1 to 200 m, a reduced diffusion path length that molecules travel between the bulk gas and the active site is provided. Accelerating the mass transport thus improves the overall reaction rate, which allows processing of more reactants. Thus, the volume of the required catalyst is reduced, allowing more compact reactors.

Method For Generating Hydrogen For Fuel Cells

View page
US Patent:
6713040, Mar 30, 2004
Filed:
Mar 23, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/816676
Inventors:
Shabbir Ahmed - Naperville IL
Sheldon H. D. Lee - Willowbrook IL
John David Carter - Bolingbrook IL
Michael Krumpelt - Naperville IL
Assignee:
Argonne National Laboratory - Argonne IL
International Classification:
C01B 326
US Classification:
423652, 423653, 423654
Abstract:
A method of producing a H rich gas stream includes supplying an O rich gas, steam, and fuel to an inner reforming zone of a fuel processor that includes a partial oxidation catalyst and a steam reforming catalyst or a combined partial oxidation and stream reforming catalyst. The method also includes contacting the O rich gas, steam, and fuel with the partial oxidation catalyst and the steam reforming catalyst or the combined partial oxidation and stream reforming catalyst in the inner reforming zone to generate a hot reformate stream. The method still further includes cooling the hot reformate stream in a cooling zone to produce a cooled reformate stream. Additionally, the method includes removing sulfur-containing compounds from the cooled reformate stream by contacting the cooled reformate stream with a sulfur removal agent. The method still further includes contacting the cooled reformate stream with a catalyst that converts water and carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and H in a water-gas-shift zone to produce a final reformate stream in the fuel processor.

US Patent:
6843960, Jan 18, 2005
Filed:
Jun 12, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/167832
Inventors:
Michael Krumpelt - Naperville IL, US
Terry Alan Cruse - Lisle IL, US
John David Carter - Bolingbrook IL, US
Jules L. Routbort - Hinsdale IL, US
Romesh Kumar - Naperville IL, US
Assignee:
The University of Chicago - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B22F 300
US Classification:
419 6, 419 9, 419 10, 419 40
Abstract:
A method for preparing compositionally graded metallic plates and compositionally graded metallic plates suitable for use as interconnects for solid oxide fuel cells are provided. The method of the invention, utilizing powder metallurgy, enables making metallic plates of generally any desired composition to meet the corrosion requirements of fuel cells and other applications, and enables making metallic plates of graded composition from one surface of the plate to the other. A powder of the desired alloy composition is obtained, then solvents, dispersants, a plasticizer and an organic binder are added to form a slip. The slip is then formed into a layer on a desired substrate that can be flat or textured. Once dried, the layer is removed from the substrate and the binder is burned out. The layer is sintered in a reducing atmosphere at a set temperature for a predefined duration specific to the materials used and the desired final properties.
