- Aerogel cathodes for electrochemical CO2 reduction [Comunicação oral]Publication . Messias, Sofia; Fialho, Maria T.; Paninho, A. B.; Branco, Luis C; Nunes, A. V. M.; Martins, Rodrigo; Mendes, Manuel Joao; Nunes, D.; Rangel, C. M.; Machado, AnaABSTRACT: Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide powered by renewable energy to produce fuels and chemicals is a technology with potential to contribute to an economy based on a carbon neutral cycle. The development of cost effective, highly active and stable catalysts for CO2 electroreduction is being intensively researched. This work addresses the development of aerogel supported copper-zinc bimetallic catalysts[1]. Aerogels are substances with exceptional properties with many current and potential applications [2-3]. Due to their high surface area, stability in corresponding gaseous or liquid phases, transport through large meso and macropores they are especially suited as catalysts and carrier materials for catalysis and, when electric conductive for electro-catalysis. Aerogels prepared by the sol gel method and impregnated with metallic particles will be tested as cathodes for the co-electrolysis of CO2 and water to produce syngas at temperatures near room temperature and high-pressure. In this way this process can be directly coupled to other high pressure processes, such as Fischer-Tropsch that use high pressure syngas as raw material. Productivities and faradaic efficiencies will be evaluated. The characterization of the aerogel-based cathodes will be undertaken by surface analysis techniques. BET surface areas will be determined. The catalytic cathodes will be tested in an ionic liquid-based electrolyte as a way to increase current densities, due to the high CO2 solubilities exhibited by some ionic liquid families.
- Hot Corrosion Behavior of Slurry Sprayed Aluminide Coatings in a Simulated Dynamic Molten Carbonate Environment [Comunicação oral]Publication . Audigié, Pauline; Rodríguez Catela, Sergio; Agüero, Alina; Pedrosa, Fátima; Paiva Luís, Teresa; Cunha Diamantino, TeresaABSTRACT: One of the key challenges associated with the use of molten salts in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants is to reduce or even suppress corrosion phenomena occurring at elevated temperatures. Molten nitrate mixtures are currently seen as the most viable storage medium for Thermal Energy Storage. But the upper temperature limit of the currently used “Solar Salt” is restricted by salt decomposition at ~580ºC. Prieto et al. estimated that increasing the temperature to 650ºC could increase the solar-to-electric conversion up to 18.5%, so alternative salts operating at higher temperature are required. Molten carbonates which are less corrosive and allow an operation up to 800ºC are an appealing breakthrough for future CSP plants.
- Effect of marine microbial activity in corrosion inhibition of 5083 aluminium alloy [Comunicação oral]Publication . Marques, Maria João; Mercier, Dimitri; Seyeux, Antoine; Zanna, Sandrine; Marcus, Philippe; Basseguy, RegineABSTRACT: Microbiologically influenced corrosion inhibition (MICI), can be considered as a new environmentally friendly strategy for corrosion inhibition. Nevertheless, at present, most of the findings in MICI research are obtained under optimized laboratory conditions, generally involving a single microorganism. To upgrade the knowledge in this research field and increase the potential applications, more studies under real conditions are needed, since environmental complexity and biological diversity coexist in field environments impacting the corrosion process of metal surfaces. In this context, one of the main objectives of the MICOATEC project (“New concept of Microbially Inspired anticorrosion coating technology”) is to understand the microbially induced formation of a protective layer on the Al-Mg surface during exposure in marine field. The present work is part of this study.
- Microbial action as an inspiring tool to propose innovative corrosion protection processes [Comunicação oral]Publication . Basseguy, Regine; Marques, Maria JoãoABSTRACT: Among the strategies employed to protect metallic materials, coatings can be considered as one of the most successful and cost-effective alternatives to increase the service lifetime of metallic structures, particularly in industries that are continuously exposed to changing and hard weather conditions such as shipbuilding, automobile, aerospace, marine and oil & gas energy infrastructures. However, towards a more constraining legislation as REACH, the surface treatment & coating Industry is at the forefront in developing innovative and even more sustainable products.
