Perovskite Catalysts for Porous Media in Internal Combustion Engines
More efficient combustion Fuel flexibility: Power from lean mixtures Smaller equipment requirements Little-to-no maintenance No complicated control system needed Less environmental contamination, when burning low-calorific fuels
Internal combustion engines: water heaters, gas stoves, boilers, portable generators
By coating porous media, such as a high temperature ceramic comprising alumina and/or silicon carbide, with perovskite catalystsΓÇömaterials with a crystal structure ABO3ΓÇöthe temperature within the media can be 1) high enough to support heat and power applications while also 2) low enough for the catalysts to remain active and keep materials in the combustion chamber from degrading as they would at uncontrolled high temperatures.
