2014年,国务院办公厅发布的《关于建立保障天然气稳定供应长效机制若干意见的通知》中提出:到2020年天然气供应能力达到4000亿立方米,力争达到4200亿立方米的宏伟目标.而目前我国天然气产量仅为1210亿立方米,其中常规天然气1178亿立方米、煤层气30亿立方米、页岩气2亿立方米.因此,在我国常规天然气生产量短期内不会有大幅度的提高的情况下,非常规天然气特别是页岩气的产业发展被寄予厚望. 页岩气是指赋存于富有机质泥页岩及其夹层中,以吸附或游离状态为主要存在方式的非常规天然气,成分以甲烷为主,是一种清洁、高效的能源资源.加快页岩气产业化步伐,对于我国能源结构优化调整,增加天然气资源供应,缓解我国天然气供需矛盾,促进节能减排以及促进我国经济可持续发展都具有重要的战略意义.

The stability of membrane electrode assembly(MEA) is the one of key problems for commercial application of direct methanol fuel cell(DMFC).Stability of MEA prepared by heat-spraying method was studied.The results revealed that performance of the MEA declined at a rate of 1.0 mV/h after polarization for several times.This meant that the voltage of the cell was relatively stable.The ohm and mass transfer polarization increased after stability test.The scanning electron microscope(SEM) indicated that the combinations between the catalyst layer and membrane,diffusion layer and catalyst layer were destructed so that the polarization increased and the performance reduced.It could be concluded from the cyclic voltammetry results that the integral area of H-adsorption and desorption peaks of the anode and cathode decreased.That indicated that the electrochemical activity of surface area decreased.

Highly oriented ZnO nanorod arrays were successfully prepared on the indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate using a galvanostatic electrodeposition method. The ITO substrate was pretreated with ZnO nanoparticles via simple low-temperature solution route. The crystallinity, micro- structure of surface, and optical properties of the obtained ZnO were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and transmittance spectrum. The results indicate that the average diameter of ZnO nanorod arrays is about 30 nm, and the narrow size distribution ranges from 20 to 50 nm. The nanorod arrays are growing along [001] direction with an orientation perpendicular to the substrate. When the wavelength of incident is over 380 nm, the ZnO nanorod arrays show a high optical transmission of above 95%. Furthermore, the possible growth mechanism of the nanorod arrays was discussed.

The effect of carbon type, carbon loading and microporous layer structure in the microporous layer on the performance of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) at low temperature was investigated using electrochemical polarization techniques, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and other methods. Vulcan XC-72 carbon was found to be most suitable as a microporous layer for low temperature DMFC. Maximum fuel cell performance was obtained utilizing a microporous layer with carbon loading of 1.0 mg cm−2 when air was used as an oxidant. A membrane electrode assembly with 1.0 mg cm−2 Vulcan XC-72 carbon with 20 wt.% Teflon in the cathode and no microporous layer in the anode showed a maximum power density of 36.7 mW cm−2 at 35 °C under atmospheric pressure. The AC impedance study proved that a cell with a dissymmetrical microporous layer structure had lower internal resistance and mass transfer resistance, thus obtaining better performance.
In PEMFC,the design of flow field has an important effect on the cell performance.In this paper,a three-dimensional mathematic model on hydrogen-atmosphere PEMFC,comparing with different channel cross sections and adjusting channel depth,was proposed which based on a computational hydrodynamics software Fluent 6.3 and Gambit 2.2.Then this model was simulated and optimized.Simulation results showed that the performance of cell adopting swallow-tailed shape was superior to that of cell adopting other shapes.In a certain range,cross section depth had a large effct on the PEMFC performance.
Methanol permeation is one of the key problems for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications. It is necessary to change the structure of the cathode of membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Therefore, a novel MEA with double-layered catalyst cathode was prepared in this paper. The double-layered catalyst consists of PtRu black as inner catalyst layer and Pt black as outer catalyst layer. The inner catalyst layer is prepared for oxidation of the methanol permeated from anode. The results indicate that this double-layered catalyst reduced the effects of methanol crossover and assimilated mixed potential losses. The performance of MEA with double-layered catalyst cathode was 52.2mWcm−2, which was a remarkable improvement compared with the performance of MEA with traditional cathode. The key factor responsible for the improved performance is the optimization of the electrode structure.
