Non-Destructive Characterization of Catalyst Coated Membranes for Fuel Cells
Spectroscopic techniques are powerful non-destructive tools to monitor Nafion membranes, catalytic coatings, and other components of a membrane electrode assembly during production of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). This presentation will discuss X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, and near-infrared spectroscopy techniques that can be used for materials characterization in development and production. Applications measuring nanocatalyst size, nanocatalyst loading, membrane hydration, and more will be provided as examples.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Proton-exchange membrane fuel cell
• X-ray diffraction
• X-ray fluorescence
• Near infrared spectroscopy
• At-line characterizationPresenter

Introduction to Latest Analysis for PEMFC and Water Electrolysis
A sustainable power device such as a PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) and water electrolysis have been developed for higher efficiency and better durability. A latest analytical technique and approach, critical to understanding the key factors of degradation mechanism and higher performance, will be discussed. TRC (Toray Research Center, inc.) has developed this approach to offer crucial information linked to these key factors.
In this presentation, we will share this latest TRC technique along with some obtained results. For PEMFC, quantitative analysis using TEM tomography and distribution analysis of radical quencher within electrolyte, will be shown as the main new approach. Furthermore, 2 case studies will be introduced to show the effective analysis for water electrolysis devices.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Polymer electrolyte fuel cells
• Water electrolysis
• Analytical technique
• Comprehensive analysisPresenter

Thermal Runaway Testing and Cause Analysis of an Automotive Li-Ion Cell
Part 1 focuses on the safety tests with large lithium-ion cells. We explain our test method and equipment to trigger and characterize a thermal runaway (TR). Then we present a case study with a large pouch cell which is brought into TR by over-temperature. We discuss the temperature curves, the voltage/resistance curves, gas releases and gas compositions.
Part 2 covers composition analysis of large lithium-ion cells to interpret what happened during high temperature test. We also conduct thermal stability analysis of charged electrode to know the temperature when exothermic decomposition and oxygen release from cathode start. From that information, we can obtain key parameters to control thermal runaway from material design point of view.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Methods for safety tests of large lithium-ion cells
• Thermal runaway of a large pouch cell caused by over-temperature
• Detailed analysis of the gas, which is released during thermal runaway
• Composition analysis of large scale lithium-ion cells
• Thermal stability of charged electrodePresenters
