HYDROCARBON FUEL CELL ELECTRODES

Abstract

Progress is reported on a program aimed at the development of an electrode system which will produce 20 w/sq ft at a minimum of 0.4 volt in a phosphoric acid matrix type cell utilizing a liquid hydrocarbon fuel (n-octane) and air, with a total platinum loading of not more than 20 g/sq ft. Emphasis was placed on evaluating the performance of standard and experimental electrodes on normal octane and air at temperatures in the range 150 to 200C.
