SOLUBLE CARBONACEOUS FUEL-AIR FUEL CELL

Abstract

Investigations continued on the components of an electrolyte-soluble carbonaceous fuel - air fuel cell. The fuel cell uses a partially oxidized hydrocarbon as the fuel and air as the oxidant. The fuel must be capable of reacting completely to CO2, be reasonably available, and pose no unusual corrosion, toxicity, or handling problems. In addition the cell must use a CO2 rejecting electrolyte and operate at temperatures and pressures below 152 C and 5 atm. Other objectives include high electrical output per unit weight and volume, high efficiency, long life, high reliability, reasonable cost, and ruggedness.
