Abstract: Disclosed are a catalyst electrode for a fuel cell, a method for fabricating the catalyst electrode, and a fuel cell including the catalyst electrode. The presence of an ionomer-ionomer support composite in the catalyst electrode prevents the porous structure of the catalyst electrode from collapsing due to oxidation of a carbon support to avoid an increase in resistance to gas diffusion and can stably secure proton channels. The presence of carbon materials with high conductivity is effective in preventing the electrical conductivity of the electrode from deterioration resulting from the use of a metal oxide in the ionomer-ionomer support composite and is also effective in suppressing collapse of the porous structure of the electrode to prevent an increase in resistance to gas diffusion in the electrode. Based on these effects, the fuel cell exhibits excellent performance characteristics and prevents its performance from deteriorating during continuous operation.

Abstract: A heat pipe-enhanced heat accumulation type indirect thermal desorption-based soil remediation device and method. On the one hand, by using thermal desorption gas generated by soil through heating and volatilizing as a heat transfer medium and by a circular heating manner, hot air efficiently transfers heat to the soil by contact, the treatment capacity of equipment is high. Moreover, high-temperature flue gas is kept from direct contact with the soil, so the high-temperature flue gas is prevented from being mixed with gaseous organic contaminants. Therefore, only a small amount of excess gas needs to be purified, so the equipment scale is small. On the other hand, by equipping a reactor with heat pipes and a ceramic heat accumulator, a second soil heating manner is provided, so that the heat transfer capacity per unit volume of the reactor is increased, and the treatment efficiency is significantly improved under the same scale.
