Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a method for preparing a gaseous- or liquid-nitridation treated core-shell catalyst and, more specifically, to a method for preparing a gaseous- or liquid-nitridation treated core-shell catalyst comprising steps of: nitridation-treating a transition metal precursor core and noble metal precursor shell particles in the presence of a gaseous nitrogen source; or forming a transition metal precursor core and noble metal precursor shell particles, by means of a liquid nitrogen source, and at the same time allowing the nitrogen source to bond with the transition metal precursor and thus allowing nitridation treatment. Therefore, the present disclosure allows a high nitrogen content in the core and thus enables a prepared catalyst to have excellent durability, a small average particle size and high degree of dispersion and uniformity, and thus to be suitable for the fuel cell field.

Abstract: A modeling method for designing a flow field of a fuel cell including a membrane electrode assembly including a catalyst layer and an electrolyte membrane, a gas diffusion layer, a flow field, and a bipolar plate includes modeling using a numerical model derived from a governing equation including a mass conservation equation of species, a fluid momentum in a porous media, and a modified Butler-Volmer's equation and outputting an oxygen diffusion characteristic in a catalyst layer from the modeling result.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transition metal nitride support, a method of manufacturing the same, a metal catalyst and a platinum-alloy catalyst including the transition metal nitride support, and manufacturing methods thereof. The manufactured transition metal support prevents corrosion of the support and aggregation of the platinum catalyst, thereby exhibiting high oxygen reduction catalytic activity. Also, strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) can be stabilized, thus improving the durability of the catalyst. The transition metal support includes large pores uniformly distributed therein, thereby increasing the amount of the catalyst supported and minimizing mass-transfer resistance in a membrane- electrode assembly, increasing the performance of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. The metal catalyst includes platinum particles loaded on the transition metal nitride support, thus exhibiting superior durability and activity.

Abstract: A signal is converted from a first sampling rate to a second sampling rate by dividing the signal into sample blocks and resampling the sample blocks at a sampling rate that is no higher than a maximum of the first sampling rate or the second sampling rate. The signal may be divided into sampling blocks by dividing the signal into a greatest common factor of the first and second sampling rates of sample blocks per second, wherein a respective sample block includes the first sampling rate divided by the greatest common factor, of samples.
