Description
The focus of the MFCIC is advanced materials for fuel cells. The University requires a suite of modular low power fuel cells units (PEM, SOFC, etc.) which can be used to test our materials and to conduct condition-monitoring experiments. A suite of cells and associated hydrogen generation facilities will also be required. These units will also be used in our teaching/training activities. A wide range of liquid and gaseous fuels can be reformed into hydrogen. Our activities in this field will include:
I)exploring metallic and organic/inorganic catalyst materials produced via wet-chemical synthesis ii)bimetallic catalysts will also be explored where the active nanomaterial is immobilised onto \"larger\" micro materials which, results in greater surface areas but keep costs low; iii) exploring a range of mesoporous oxides as heterogeneous catalysts with varying compositions, surface structure and functionality towards clean-up efficiency iv)coating of identified catalysts onto a range of materials such as planar and 3D microstructures. A catalytic testing rig is required to measure the efficiency/effectiveness of our materials.
One lot is required for purchase: MMU requires a 3D printer capable of printing industrial scale objects from a variety of plastics and advanced composites linked to the MFCIC. This tender may be fulfilled with an existing product however it is anticipated that the printer may need to be a bespoke unit constructed from an industrial scale 6 axis robotic arm and one or more print heads that are capable of large scale printing of pellet feedstock integrated into a single system by the supplier.
