Method to Make Crack-Free Carbon Structures While Avoiding Shrinkage and Deformation
A method to make micropatterned carbon structures with pre-designed size and shape, avoiding shrinkage and deformation. Problem: Pyrolysis is a chemical process that involves the thermal decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures in an inert atmosphere. Applying pyrolysis to polymer templates can be used to fabricate micropatterned carbon...

Direct carbon fuel cell stack designs
Problem: The world has an ever-growing need to provide energy while limiting harm to the environment. Carbon based fuels are cheap and abundant, but generating electricity by burning these fuels creates harmful byproducts. Alternative energy sources, such as traditional fuel cells, face economic challenges due to the difficulty and expense of preparing...

High-performance ceramic anodes for solid oxide fuel cells
Problem: Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) generate electricity by oxidizing hydrocarbon fuels at high temperatures. Most SOFCs have anodes made from cermets (ceramic-metal composites), usually mixtures of nickel and ceramics such as yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). However, these anodes perform poorly with fuels that contain sulfur, such as gasoline,...
