CEROLYTE FUEL CELL.

Abstract

Detailed information is presented on two aspects of work on Cerolyte Fuel Cells: (1) the measurement of polarization voltage losses; and (2) the overall design of a 50-watt Cerolyte Fuel-cell Battery. The effects of curent density and temperature on polarization voltage losses for fusedplatinum electrodes both absorbing and desorbing oxygen in a H2-H2O atmosphere were obtained. The measurement techniques developed will be useful in determining the fabrication conditions for producing optimum electrodes for cerolyte cells. A preliminary design for a 50-watt battery was completed; it consists of (1) a metal base-plate including the battery manifolding and tubular battery support; (2) battery casing; and (3) insulation. The testing work on 5-cell batteries was continued.
