TECHNICAL SUMMARY REPORT FOR MOLTEN-CARBONATE FUEL BATTERY PROGRAM.

Abstract

Power obtainable from single cells on hydrogen fuel using the 4 3/16 in. electrode diameter assembly has been increased from an average of 60 watts to about 100 watts per square foot at 0.7 volts by improvements in the fuel electrode structure and reduction in electrical resistance. These cells produce approximately 60 watts per square foot at 0.5 volts on a fuel composed of 50:50 hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Cells have operated on the 50:50 hydrogen-carbon dioxide mixture for more than 1,000 hrs. A concentration of 0.2 mole percent of hydrogen sulfide in the fuel gas was found not detrimental in a 1,000 hr test. A 100-watt battery design has been constructed. (Author)
