New Materials for Fluoro Sulfonic Acid Electrolyte Fuel Cells.

Abstract

Hydrogen-air fuel cells with platinum black electrodes and PTFE Matrices gave current densities approaching 100mA/sq cm with the monohydrate of TFMSA as the electrolyte. Electrolyte volatility and electrode flooding were shown to be limiting factors for cell performance. Initial performance results for dilute TFMSA electrolyte fuel cells indicated a more promising approach. (Author)
