Online Mass Spectrometric Investigation of Hydrogen Cross-over in PEM Water Electrolysis Cells

Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysers today mainly still use classic extrusion cast PFSA membranes of significant thickness such as Nafion® N117 or N115. In PEM fuel cells, much thinner solution cast membranes are used today in order to reduce ohmic resistance. In spite of the fact that reduced ohmic resistance would also benefit the goal to increase current density of operation for PEMEL so far it is not done for the sake of limiting hydrogen and oxygen cross-over. The necessity of this arises from the fact that hydrogen in oxygen concentrations exceeding certain limits can cause severe safety risk for the operation of PEMEL systems. An alternative approach to mitigate the issue is the introduction of recombination layers1, 2 which scavenge hydrogen and oxygen within the membrane and combine them back into water. In order to appropriately design such layer an online measurement of the hydrogen cross-over is required.In this contribution we will report on the use of online mass spectrometry to measure and quantify the hydrogen cross-over. The used set-up consists of a balticFuelCells cell holder with 4 cm2 cell with titanium flow fields as well as two pumps to supply water to anode and cathode compartment. Downstream of the cell on the anode side a water separator removes the remaining water from the product gas line. The capillary of a mass spectrometer with differential pump system is inserted into the exhaust gas line. Hydrogen concentration was measured by monitoring the m/z = 2 signal. For the calibration of the cell only a PTL was mounted into the cell holder. During the calibration measurement water was flown through the anode compartment while the anode side was fed with a 5% H2 in N2 mixture. The observed m/z = 2 signal was set for 5 vol% of hydrogen.For the tests, home-made CCMs were used with a Pt/C (JMFC) cathode layer and an IrO2 (Alfa Aesar) anode layer. A Freudenberg GDL was used as cathode PTL and a sintered Ti element as anode PTL. Tests were performed for CCM using Nafion® N115 or Nafion® XL electrolyte membrane. For some of the experiments a Nafion® overlayer was applied to the Nafion® XL to further determine the effect of Nafion® thickness. Also, a first test with a Pt black layer as recombination layer insert between the Nafion® XL membrane and the Nafion® overlayer was performed.Results reveal that the hydrogen cross-over for the Nafion® XL membrane is significantly higher than for the Nafion® N115 membrane as has to be expected. Already a rather thin Nafion® over cast to the Nafion® XL membrane can reduce the cross over to the Nafion® XL level without the need to achieve the full thickness of the Nafion® N115 membrane. The addition of the Pt layer is very effective to reduce H2 cross-over and will be further investigated. Of further importance is the strong spike of H2 cross over during current increase slopes which can be observed with this technique. These spikes bear the risk of the transient existence of flammable mixture. The observation is only possible due to the high time resolution of the MS. In the presentation further analysis will be presented.The presented work received financial support by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft as part of the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Integrated Energy Systems (CINES), dimension technical components, grant number 007-601144.

Fishing for Answers: The Implications of Environmental Defence Society v King Salmon

The Supreme Court's decision in Environmental Defence Society Inc v King Salmon Co Ltd, of early 2014, is a positive development in New Zealand's resource management law. The decision endorses the environmental bottom line approach and prohibits the use of the purpose section of the Resource Management Act 1991 when making operative decisions. If the decision is applied widely, there is scope for some of the problems with the resource management law framework to be addressed. In particular, the decision has the potential to reduce the uncertainty within the system caused by the lack of central government direction and the inconsistencies between local governments, and the issues when applying the purpose of the Resource Management Act. The article also analyses the effect of the decision on the reforms to the Resource Management Act that were proposed in 2014, and concludes that the arguments for the reforms are now much weaker.

Identification of a new Polerovirus (family Luteoviridae) associated with cotton bunchy top disease in Australia

Cotton bunchy top (CBT) disease has caused significant yield losses in Australia and is now managed by control of its vector, the cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii). Its mode of transmission and similarities in symptoms to cotton Blue Disease suggested it may also be caused by a luteovirus or related virus. Degenerate primers to conserved regions of the genomes of the family Luteoviridae were used to amplify viral cDNAs from CBT-affected cotton leaf tissue that were not present in healthy plants. Partial genome sequence of a new virus (Cotton bunchy top virus, CBTV) was obtained spanning part of the RNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase (RdRP), all of the coat protein and part of the aphid-transmission protein. CBTV sequences could be detected in viruliferous aphids able to transmit CBT, but not aphids from non-symptomatic plants, indicating that it is associated with the disease and may be the causal agent. All CBTV open-reading frames had their closest similarity to viruses of the genus Polerovirus. The partial RdRP had 90 % amino acid identity to the RdRP of Cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) that causes cotton blue disease, while other parts of the genome were more similar to other poleroviruses. The sequence similarity and genome organization of CBTV suggest that it should be considered a new member of the genus Polerovirus. This partial genome sequence of CBTV opens up the possibility for developing diagnostic tests for detection of the virus in cotton plants, aphids and weeds as well as alternative strategies for engineering CBT resistance in cotton plants through biotechnology. © 2012 Australasian Plant Pathology Society Inc.

Can a Member of Parliament be ‘Genuinely and Properly’ Interested in Court Records?

If there was ever a case where the factual substratum could not have ever been foreseen, McCully v Whangamata Marina Society Inc & Anor 1 (McCully) was one. The case is an unexpected by‐product of the substantive underlying case of Whangamata Marina Society Inc v Attorney‐General 2 (Whangamata) where the member of Parliament (MP) was not a party. The McCully case is unusual because: (1) it is, in law, a civil procedure case that matures into a significant constitutional law case; and (2) it is not the ruling alone, but the factual substratum particularly, that touches on the very heart of constitutional law. This article is limited to a cross‐analysis of the separation of powers, the sub judice rule, and ministerial decision‐making. 1 [2006] NZCA 209. 2 HC WN CIV 2006, 485–789.

Soothing the Savage Beast: Information sources on Music Therapy to Improve the Environment

Music may be able to soothe the savage beast but can it direct the human will to improve the environment? Individually? Collectively? If so, how? The purpose of this discussion is to establish a framework whereby these questions may be explored. Following a brief discussion of music's impact upon our bodies, minds, and spirits, I will present a list of songs touching upon some aspect of the environment. A number of books have also been identified as resources for further study and contemplation. Some questions to consider include: Which genre of music is most effective in its positive environmental impact? and Is the music of any particular culture more influential in healing environmental problems? Specifically, it may be more appropriate to ask whether the music of one religion or another may be more effective in fostering environmental concern. Lynn White has suggested that the solution for the environmental crisis rests upon the shoulders of religion since that's where the blame for the crisis also rested and science has (as of the date of his article) been unable to cure the world's environmental ills (White 1967). Sound (music) makes a difference: physically, mentally/emotionally, and spiritually. One physical impact, directly influencing the environment, involves music's powerful impact upon the growth of plants. These organisms grow toward some music as they grow toward light. Other music repels plants, even kills them. However, this does not suggest that music be played across the wilderness or in urban landscapes for the purpose of improving the environment. People shape the environment in significant ways; therefore, any improvement that the environment might enjoy through music will be brought about indirectly, as that music influences people. Environmentally friendly music may impact people physically as it motivates them to move in various ways. The mental and emotional impact of music works by educating its listeners. Finally, spiritual change takes place as music resonates with people, inspiring them to act. Motivate Music impacts physical states in plants, animals, and people. Some indigenous peoples around the globe also believe it affects the environment, such as through a rain dance. The impact of music upon a person's physical being is the easiest to document. However, any beneficial link between the health of an individual's body and the health of the environment is complex and a challenge to document. Music has been shown to make people speed up or slow down, but what social/environmental impact can be shown as a direct result of a person's physical response to music?

Primary Mode of Therapy for Gas Embolism

To the Editor.—In the article entitled Postoperative Venous Air Embolism After Removal of Neck Drains in the August 1981Archives(107:494-496), Chang et al failed to mention the primary mode of therapy for gas embolism. In the most recent committee report of the Undersea Medical Society Inc, February 1981, gas embolism is recognized as a catagory 1 disorder for which hyperbaric oxygen is the primary mode of treatment, and other measures are adjunctive. The Undersea Medical Society Inc believes strongly that the treatment must be initiated during the acute episode. When gas is introduced into the circulation, recompression of the offending bubbles is the sine qua non treatment. Recompression in a hyperbaric chamber is the only definitive form of treatment known. Therefore, I believe that their failure to mention the now recognized primary mode of therapy for this serious condition should not have occurred.
