Abstract: A carbon black monolith comprising a matrix comprising ceramic material and carbon black dispersed throughout the matrix and a method for making a carbon black monolith comprising extruding an extrudable mixture including a carbon black, a ceramic forming material, water, an extrusion aid, and a flux material. A carbon black monolith catalyst comprising a finished self-supporting carbon black monolith having at least one passage therethrough, and comprising a supporting matrix and carbon black dispersed throughout the supporting matrix and at least one catalyst precursor on the finished self-supporting carbon black monolith. A method for making and a method for use of such a carbon black monolith catalyst in catalytic chemical reactions are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to hybrid monolithic fuel cells. In one embodiment, the fuel cells comprise a monolithic substrate composed of a metal material and an electrolyte material, the substrate defining a fuel channel and an oxidant channel that are separated by the electrolyte material. The disclosure also relates to methods for manufacturing hybrid monolithic fuel cells. In one embodiment, the methods comprise preparing a metal material, preparing an electrolyte material, and forming a hybrid monolithic fuel cell substrate comprising the metal and electrolyte materials in a one-step fabrication process.
