Acquisition of an Integrated Thermogravimetric Analyzer & Differential Scanning Calorimeter for Materials used in Transportation Research

Instrument continues to study mixed oxide ceramic membrane materials for use as hydrogen generation materials and as anodes for solid oxide fuel cells. New studies have been conducted on the effect of various environments (reducing, oxidizing, etc) on the oxygen release capability and structural stability of the membrane materials with a specific instrument in calculating the oxygen stoichiometry in the membrane materials as a function of temperature and atmospheric composition. Completed data are slated for inclusion in a publication with a submission date of April 2008.
