A Density Functional Theory of a Nickel-based Anode Catalyst for Application in a Direct Propane Fuel Cell

The maximum theoretical energy efficiency of fuel cells is much larger than those of the steam-power-turbine cycles that are currently used for generating electrical power. Similarly, direct hydrocarbon fuel cells, DHFCs, can theoretically be much more efficient than hydrogen fuel cells. Unfortunate...
