RESEARCH ON COMPACT FUEL CELL POWER SUPPLIES

Abstract

Research on the following areas is discussed: preliminary tests have been made on fuel cells containing the new ion exchange polymer; data is given on more ion exchange polymer reinforcement materials; a cost comparison based on experimental data is included for various catalytic electrode systems at a current density of 50 amps/sq. ft; the first half of the study of chemical hydrogen generation systems is presented including lithium hydride, sodium borohydride, and calcium hydride in water, basic, and acidic media; several low pressure (atmospheric) runs were made with the electrolyzer. The results were unsatisfactory because mixing of the gases occurred.
