Ceramics In Clean Tech
This presentation will address the use of varying amounts of porosity, to modify membrane and catalysis coating characteristics in fuel cell, gas separation membrane, and insulation packaging applications. These applications differ in the amount of porosity used in the key separation membrane, the yittria-stablized zirconia electrolyte in the fuel cell, the ceramic support structure in gas separation member, and the near total porosity fiber structure of ceramic insulation.
