On the Properties of a Fuel Cell Electrolyte.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA072864 | Open PDF

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
