PHYSICAL AND TECHNICAL PROBLEMS OF DIRECT CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL,
Abstract
An analysis is made of the basic power aspects of the problem of developing fuel cells. From a physical energy point of view the system of electrochemical generators (ECG) is examined on the basis of an analysis of three components-the ECG itself and the systems of accessories and automatic adjustment, the creation of which is combined with the solving of a number of specific problems. The most important of these problems are examined and the necessity of their overall solution is brought out. As an example of practical realization of these problems, data are cited for an electrochemical generator with polymeric hydrophobic electrodes. This generator has promise for application in ground transport equipment. An analysis is made of the technology of manufacture of electrodes, design of battery, and volt-ampere characteristics. Photographs are shown of a Soviet ECG with ion-exchange membranes and cermet electrodes. (Author)
