    摘要: A dual compartment anode structure for use in molten carbonates fuel cells having an electrolyte porous metallic plate structure (14) with one face (14a) adapted to contact the electrolyte (13) and an opposite face having a plurality of ribs (14b) extending therefrom, a hydrogen ion and molecular hydrogen and electrolyte non-porous metallic foil (15) having one face in contact with the ends of the ribs to define an anode reaction gas compartment (22) therebetween, and a corrugated metallic current collector (16) having a plurality of peaks with one face at the peaks in contact with the opposite face of the metallic foil defining an anode fuel gas compartment (21) therebetween. The dual compartment anode structure of this invention provides separation between the electrolyte and the fuel thereby permitting internal cell reforming of hydrocarbon containing fuels without poisoning of the reforming catalyst and provides greater cell stability due to reduction in corrosion and reduced electrolyte and electrode loss.

    摘要: A porous gas fed electrode (14) adapted to operate in a large capacity cell (10) with a stable three phase interface in the electrode thereby avoiding the problems of gas percolation can be readily achieved in a simple and inexpensive manner by the provision of a porous hydrophilic layer (21) on the surface of the electrode which is in contact with the aqueous electrolyte (17). Due to the high capillary pressure exhibited by liquids in hydrophilic pores, very high gas pressures are required to force the gas through the structure and the loss of gas into the electrolyte is thereby eliminated. In addition, a gas pressure in the gas compartment (23) of the electrochemical cell employing such an electrode can be raised to balance the electrolyte pressure at the bottom of the electrode thereby effectively preventing electrolyte seepage into the gas compartment.

    摘要: Cermet electrodes consisting of metal particles (7) of nickel, cobalt, iron, or alloys or mixtures thereof im­mobilized by zirconia (8) stabilized in cubic form which contains (9) from 0.1 to 5% by weight of praseodymium, dys­prosium, terbium, or an alloy or mixture thereof. The solid oxide electrode can be made by covering a substrate with particles of nickel, cobalt, iron, or alloys or mixtures thereof, growing a stabilized zirconia solid oxide skeleton around the particles thereby immobilizing them, contacting the skeleton with a compound of praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium, or an alloy or a mixture thereof, and heating the skeleton to a temperature of at least 500°C. The electrode can also be made by preparing a slurry of nickel, cobalt, iron, or alloy or mixture thereof and a compound of praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium, or an alloy or a mixture thereof, depositing the slurry on a substrate, heating the slurry to dryness, and growing a stabilized zirconia skeleton around the metal particles.

    摘要: A porous gas-diffusion electrode having a ruthenium electrocatalyst is conditioned for operation as a hydrogen consuming anode by connecting the electrode as a cathode in a suitable electrolyte until it drops below the reversible hydrogen potential and evolves hydrogen. Preferably, the electrode is contacted with a hydrogen atmosphere prior to or at the beginning of hydrogen evolution, and conditioning may be carried out in situ in a cell in which the electrode is to operate as hydrogen consuming anode.

    摘要: An improved rechargeable lead-hydrogen electrochemical cell is provided which comprises a cell stack secured to a retainer and disposed within a pressure vessel containing hydrogen gas. The stack includes a positive electrode comprising lead oxide, a pair of gas-porous negative electrodes containing a catalyst, a pair of separators and a pair of gas screens. The stack components are saturated with sulfuric acid electrolyte. Each of the negative electrodes has a separator disposed on one side thereof and a gas screen disposed on the opposite side thereof. The pressure vessel contains a gas inlet, and electrical leads connect to, respectively, the positive and negative electrodes and exit the pressure vessel. In the charged form, the cell reactants exist as lead oxide and hydrogen gas. When the cell is discharged, the lead oxide is reduced to lead sulfate and the hydrogen gas is oxidized at a catalytic surface to hydrogen ion. The cell has a lower cost with fewer technical problems, has a higher specific energy density and has a superior performance, relative to conventional metal hydrogen cells.
