On the Properties of a Fuel Cell Electrolyte.

Abstract

The field of fuel cell electrolytes is surveyed with the objective of learning the deficiencies and good properties of the available systems. The survey included a study of inorganic acids as phosphoric, sulfuric, hydrochloric, perchloric, hydrofluoric and other strong acids; organic acids including sulfonic and carboxylic; alkaline systems; ion exchange membrane systems, solid electrolytes; and molten carbonate systems. Some general and specific conclusions are listed indicating the technical questions to be answered to develop a low temperature organic sulfonic acid system. (Author)
