个人简介
Since joining the University of Calgary, Dr. Birss' principal area of research has focussed primarily on furthering the understanding of the growth mechanism, nanostructure, and the optimization of the electrochemical properties of a wide range of surface film materials.Other significant contributions have included pioneering studies of redox-active metal oxides formed using the sol-gel process, studies of adsorbed flavins, investigations of the metal/polymer interface and protection of Al and Mg alloys from corrosion through the growth of anodic oxide films.More recent work has had a strong focus on electrocatalysis as applied to various fuel cell systems. In the low temperature fuel cell area, this includes the use of sol-gel processing for the formation of metallic nanoparticulate thin films for the oxidation of hydrogen and methanol, the development of non-noble metal electrocatalysts for the reduction of and establishing the role of Ru oxide in Pt-Ru anode electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation in direct methanol PEM fuel cells.In terms of solid oxide fuel cell work (SOFC), research goals include the establishment of the kinetics and mechanisms of fuel oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions using 3-electrode electrochemical methods, and on understanding and overcoming SOFC degradation mechanisms, including sulfur poisoning of anodes, thermal cycling effects on the anode, and Cr contamination of cathodes.Other work involves the use of in situ FTIR spectroscopy to probe fuel oxidation mechanisms to identify new anode materials for the direct oxidation of hydrocarbons in SOFCs, the formation of novel electrocatalysts for SOFC applications using sol-gel methodologies, and the performance enhancement of microtubular SOFCs.
