摘要： Disclosed are various types of metal-air FCB-based systems (110) comprising a metal-fuel transport subsystem (111), a metal-fuel discharging subsystem (115), and a metal-fuel recharging subsystem (117). The function of the metal-fuel transport subsytem is to transport metal-fuel cards or sheets to the metal-fuel discharge subsystem, or the metal-fuel recharge subsystem, depending on the mode of the system selected. When transported to or through the metal-fuel discharge subsystem, each metal-fuel card (112) is discharged by electrochemical reaction with one or more discharging heads in order to produce electrical power across an electrical load (116) connected to the subsystem, while water and oxygen are consumed at the cathode-electrolyte interface during electrochemical reaction. When transported to or through the metal-fuel recharging subsystem, discharged metal-fuel is recharged by one or more recharging heads in order to convert the oxidized metal-fuel material into its source material suitable for reuse in power discharging operations, while oxygen is released a the cathode-electrolyte interface during the electrochemical reaction. In the illustrative embodiments, various forms of metal-fuel cards can be discharged and recharged in an efficient manner to satisfy a broad range of electrical loading conditions.

摘要： An electrochemical cathode includes a porous metal foam substrate, formed with a network of interconnected pores. An active layer and a hydrophobic microporous gas diffusion layer are both disposed on one or more surfaces of the metal foam substrate. The metal foam substrate serves as the current collector of the cathode. The microporous layer is a plastic material such as a fluoropolymer (i.e., PTFE). The cathode also includes a particulate microstructure reinforced by relatively strong bonding provided by sintering a polymeric binder within the three-dimensional interconnected porosity of the metal foam substrate. The reactive layers are preferably fabricated from the same material as binder. This advantageously enables a single roll pressing operation to simultaneously impregnate the binder into the substrate and form the reactive layers thereon.

摘要： In an air-metal fuel cell battery system (1), metal-fuel tape (3), an ionically-conductive medium (2) and a cathode structure (4) are transported at substantially the same velocity at the locus of points at which the ionically-conductive medium contains the cathode structure and the metal-fuel tape during discharging and recharging modes of operation. In a first generalized embodiment of the present invention, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as an ionically-conductive belt, which is transported at substantially the same velocity as the metal-fuel tape and cathode structure at the locus of points where they are in contact. In a generalized second embodiment, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as a solid-state gel-like film layer integrated with the metal-fuel tape, which is transported at the same velocity as the cathode structure where they are in contact. In a third generalized embodiment, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as a solid-state film layer integrated with the movable cathode structure, which is transported at substantially the same velocity as the metal-fuel tape where they are in contact. By transporting the movable cathode structure, ionically-conductive medium and metal-fuel tape within the system as described above, generation of frictional forces among these components is minimized during the operation of the system, and damage to these components is reduced.
