Basualdo and Diego Feroldi (French-Argentine International Center of Information and Systems Sciences, Argentina) and Rachid Outbib (LSIS-Domaine Universitaire de Saint-Jerome, Marseille, France), who are experts in simulation, control and fault detection of large systems, is part of the series Green Energy and Technology. This book presents some typical problems encountered in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems and proposes alternative ways of operation using conventional and advanced control techniques. The book is divided into two main parts. The fi rst part consists of eight chapters and is dedicated to fuel cell systems in terms of modelling, simulation, advanced control and diagnosis; the second part consists of six chapters and deals with fuel processor systems for the production of hydrogen from bioethanol. The writing style is clear and the authors give a detailed description of the systems and processes at the beginning of each chapter, which allows even the non-specialist reader to easily follow the concepts under discussion. However, in some of the chapters, prior knowledge of the specifi c software packages used is needed.","PeriodicalId":20208,"journal":{"name":"Platinum Metals Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"52-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1595/147106713X659497","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67346433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of metal ions aluminium, tin and platinum, respectively, on the physical and chemical properties of the TiO2 nanoparticles are reported. The set of six samples were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Specific surface areas were determined using nitrogen adsorption and desorption measurements. Subsequent photocatalytic studies of the degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye under UV irradiation demonstrated that addition of Al and Sn had a negative effect on catalytic performance, whereas the addition of ≤0.7 at% Pt to each sample enhanced photocatalytic activity. Most interestingly, the Pt-doped composite samples (TiO2-Sn/Pt and TiO2-Al/Pt) both showed a significantly higher rate of degradation of MO, when compared to P 25. All Pt-doped samples show an increased visible photon absorption capacity. The relationships between the physical and chemical characteristics are discussed in relation to photocatalytic performance.","PeriodicalId":20208,"journal":{"name":"Platinum Metals Review","volume":"57 1","pages":"32-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1595/147106713X659109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67346394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present work summarises recent experimental data on the Ir-Re system with the aim of allowing the correct solidus parts of the equilibrium phase diagram to be constructed. The examination of data obtained by different synthetic methods and thermodynamic calculations has revealed that the maximum solidphase solubilities at 2000oC of Re in Ir and Ir in Re are 20 at% and 68 at%, respectively. The binary phase diagram proposed in this paper serves as a reliable model for representing the available experimental data.","PeriodicalId":20208,"journal":{"name":"Platinum Metals Review","volume":"57 1","pages":"57-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1595/147106713X659064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67346086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
