HYDROCARBON - AIR FUEL CELLS
Abstract
Detailed information is presented on a continuing research and development program to develop a direct hydrocarbon oxidation-air fuel cell technology. Current work included research on electrochemical oxidation processes, electrolytes, electrode structures, and fuel cell life testing. Multi-pulse potentiodynamic techniques have been further developed for analyzing hydrocarbon surface processes. Performance of fuel cell systems with hydrogen fluoride and phosphoric acid electrolytes have been studied for high performance hydrocarbon oxidation. Boron carbide and carbon have been successfully employed as substrates for high surface area platinum and the results and application to Teflon-bonded electrodes are reported. A variety of modified Teflon-bonded developmental electrodes were evaluated.
