摘要:
System for refilling a fuel cell wherein the system includes a main container having at least one movable fuel container, at least one movable electrolyte container, and at least one spent fuel chamber. A valve which regulates or controls fluid flow between the main container and a fuel cell and vice versa. A method of refilling a fuel cell provides for moving the at one movable fuel container and the at least one movable electrolyte container to cause spent fuel from fuel cell to enter the at least one spent fuel chamber. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
摘要:
Disposable fuel cell and a system for filling a disposable fuel cell. The system includes a fuel cell having at least one chamber, a cartridge having at least one chamber, and a valve system which regulates or controls fluid flow between the cartridge and fuel cell. A method of refilling a fuel cell provides for connecting the cartridge to the fuel cell and transferring fuel and electrolyte from the cartridge to the fuel cell. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

摘要:
A fuel cell includes a cathode, an anode, a fuel chamber, and a membrane arranged between the anode and the fuel chamber. The membrane is structured and arranged to allow gas to accumulate adjacent the anode at least to a point where the gas limits or substantially prevents a contact between the anode and a fuel. The method includes generating electrical energy with the fuel cell, preventing further generation of electrical energy of the fuel cell, and facilitating, with the membrane, an accumulation of the gas adjacent the anode at least to a point where the gas substantially prevents a contact between the anode and the fuel. Another method includes using a gas which is formed by an initial decomposition of the fuel to restrict or substantially prevent any further contact between the fuel and the anode. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
摘要:
A direct liquid fuel cell includes a cathode, an anode, a fuel chamber, and at least one membrane arranged between the anode and the fuel chamber. The membrane is structured and arranged to allow gas which is formed on or in the vicinity of the surface of the anode which faces the fuel chamber to accumulate adjacent to the anode at least to a point where the accumulated gas substantially prevents a direct contact between the anode and the liquid fuel. A method of preventing or reducing fuel decomposition in the fuel cell is also disclosed. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
摘要:
Fuel cell including a casing, a cathode having a first surface and a second surface, at least part of the second surface being exposed to the atmosphere, an anode having a first surface and a second surface, a first chamber configured to retain liquid fuel, wherein the first chamber is defined at least partially by the first surface of the anode, and a second chamber configured to retain liquid electrolyte, wherein the second chamber is defined at least partially by the second surface of the anode and the first surface of the cathode, wherein the fuel cell is configured to be sealed in a substantially liquid-tight manner during at least a portion of its service life. A cartridge can be connected to the fuel cell. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
摘要:
A power supply system, in particular for use during emergencies and/or power outages, that includes at least one liquid fuel cell, at least one cartridge, and a system or device for transferring the contents of the cartridge to the fuel cell. A cartridge-free power supply system is also disclosed. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
摘要:
A fuel cell for use with a hydride-based fuel, which fuel cell is designed for being sealed in a liquid-tight manner when in operation. The fuel cell comprises means for eliminating hydrogen formed inside the fuel cell. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
摘要:
A storage-stable liquid concentrate for use with a fuel cell. The concentrate comprises at least one metal hydride compound, a solvent comprising one or more polar solvent components, and at least one hydroxide ion providing compound. Following a storage of the concentrate for 4 weeks at about 25° C. not more than about 2 % of the at least one metal hydride compound have decomposed. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
