HYDROCARBON-AIR FUEL CELL

Abstract

Work on the direct hydrocarbon electrode has continued to concentrate on studies of mechanism, catalysis and structure, aimed at improving the utilization of platinum or finding non-noble substitutes for it. Butane adsorption measurements were also made in phosphoric acid at 140 degrees to determine whether the higher temperatures might not lead to stronger adsorption. It was found that adsorbed butane did cover a higher fraction of the sites available to hydrogen at the higher temperature.
