INVESTIGATION OF HYDRAZINE-AIR FUEL CELL SYSTEMS
Abstract
In the fourth quarter, new materials for anode and separator were investigated, and experiments were carried out to optimize the treatment of anode with catalyst poisons (sulfur ion), and the catalyst loading for NH3 oxidation. Full cell testing (3 x 3 in.) again revealed the significant improvement in performance of both the hydrazine anode and also of the combined cathode imparted by sulfur ion poisoning. Very active non-noble-metal catalysts such as Ni-B, Co-B and Ni-P can be used if the electrode is properly poisoned. Generally, these catalysts give very active potentials but low fuel efficiencies by excess decomposition of hydrazine fuel.
