Process for the Production of a Hierarchically Structured Porous Precious Metal Catalyst in Powder Form and Its Application
This invention describes a method to produce a hierarchically structured, porous powder containing iridium and/or ruthenium compounds. The process uses both 'soft' (amphiphilic polymer) and 'hard' (colloidal particle) templates to create a unique morphology in which large pores (macropores) are structured with smaller pores (mesopores) in their walls. After forming and mixing the precursor components, specialized thermal and chemical treatments remove the templates, resulting in a powder with an exceptionally high surface area and controlled pore architecture. This powder is particularly suitable for use as a catalyst, especially in electrochemical applications like water electrolysis using proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology.
Coating Chamber for Multilayer Coating Using Volatile Solvents
This invention describes a specially designed coating chamber for applying multilayer coatings to substrates using volatile solvents. The chamber is lined internally with an inert material and equipped with at least one heating element to ensure controlled conditions. The coating solution makes contact only with the substrate to be coated and the inert lining, reducing contamination. This set-up is particularly used for creating catalyst-coated electrodes, especially for large-scale electrolyzers in chlorine gas production.
Method for Determining a Braking Characteristic Parameter for a Braking Operation of a Railway Goods Wagon, Railway Goods Wagon and Arrangement with Railway Goods Wagon
This invention describes a method and system for determining key braking characteristics, such as braking force and brake setting, in a railway freight wagon. It uses a rotation sensor (e.g., an incremental encoder with a Hall sensor) attached to a rotating component of the brake rigging adjuster to measure its movement when the brakes are released after a braking event. The measurement data is then wirelessly transmitted to an evaluation unit, which calculates and characterizes the preceding braking operation. The invention also includes a railway freight wagon and an arrangement that implements this method.
