THIN FUEL CELL ELECTRODES.
Abstract
The effects of gas composition changes, temperature increase and variation of caustic concentration have been determined in the previous quarter. This descriptive series is continued with the report of results of pressurization, influence of carbon dioxide from the air, behavior of electrodes under abuse-testing conditions (such as gas reversal, shorting, electrolyte loss), and at freezing temperatures. More operational life date on larger cells are presented. The program for factorial testing of electrode processing variables has already revealed many interesting facts. While it is too early to evaluate life date, significant differences can already be pointed out by comparison of polarization data of differently manufactured and catalyzed electrodes. To round out the testing program, performance in immobilized caustic electrolytes has been checked. Some modifications in the nickel backing were made in an effort to make the electrodes more rugged and better suited for larger batteries. (Author)
