Electrolyte for Hydrocarbon Air Fuel Cells.
Abstract
The electrochemical properties tetrafluoroethanedisulfonic acid which had been shown to be superior to phosphoric acid as an electrolyte for direct propane oxidizing fuel cells were explored further. Platinum electrodes immersed in both tetrafluoroethanedisulfonic acid and phosphoric acid saturated with propane were subjected to linear cyclic voltage sweeps and the resultant currents plotted as a function of potential. Peaks corresponding to the absorbtion and oxidation of propane were found to lie at more reversible potentials in tetrafluoroethanedisulfonic acid. (Author)
