SATURATED HYDROCARBON FUEL CELL PROGRAM
Abstract
The objective of Task IV is the study of hydrocarbon fuel cells with non-acid electrolytes. New cell hardware was designed and constructed, based on previous experience with organic fuels. High precision material balance equipment was constructed, and calibrations for the initial phases of the work were completed. As a first stage in the hydrocarbon work, the new equipment was tested on a well known system in order to prove the reliability of the apparatus and to test the usefulness of the off-specification lot of cesium carbonate purchased for this work. The second stage, that of establishing the performance of saturated hydrocarbons in the present system of platinum electrodes and cesium carbonate electrolyte, followed by suitable modifications for performance improvement, is now in progress.
