XPS analysis of fuel cell components


EMSL Project ID
5790a

Abstract

Request use of Quantum 2000 (Mark Engelhard) to examine some fuel cell separator plates. I am interested in compositional changes as well as gradients in oxidation states of some transition metal ions.
find out if any of the S-compounds were produced in the bulk or on the surface. Electrodes, doped SrTiO3 - doped CeO2 composites, are porous, ca 20-40 um. They also have a porous Pt grid on the top that most likely turned into PtSx.
