Abstract:

To extend the study of fuel cells using glucose as the fuel, a FeCN6-4 - FeCN6-3 redox agent is substituted for the Mn2 -Mn3 or Mn4 system. It is thought that the former system is better than the latter because it consists of an anion which does not migrate to the cathode chamber and it shows lower oxidation reduction potential. To increase the cell voltage, H2SO4 and NaOH solutions are used as the catholyte and anolyte, respectively. A cation-exchange resin sheet is used as a bridge to lower the migration of anions. The results show that it is possible to use carbon as the oxygen electrode material and to obtain a high current density with it, that ferrocyanide is oxidized to FeCN6-3 at the anode, and that glucose is oxidized to CO2 and H2O in concentrated NaOH solution by FeCN6-3.
