摘要： Improved metal/air fuel cells comprise an anode and a cathode in which the cathode provides for gas diffusion and reduction of gaseous oxidizing agents with a catalyst and comprises an initial oxidizing agent. The initial oxidizing agent can be a non-gaseous composition present in the cathode for immediate availability. Due to the presence of the initial oxidizing agent, the metal/air fuel cells can produce current immediately after closing the circuit, regardless of the level, or concentration, of a gaseous oxidizing agent present in the catalytic layer of the cathode. Thus, the improved fuel cells can generate current without a time delay that can be associated with the flow of a gaseous oxidizing agent into the catalytic layer of the cathode.

摘要： A device/system having an integrated refuelable and rechargable metal-air FCB based power supply unit for generating and providing electrical power to at least one electrical-energy-consuming load device disposed therein. An external power source is used to recharge the metal-air FCB subsystems embodied therein. A control subsystem automatically transitions between discharging mode (wherein at least one metal-air FCB subsystem supplies electrical power to the electrical power-consuming load device) and a recharging mode (wherein the external power source is electrically coupled to at least one metal-air FCB subsystem to thereby recharge the metal-air FCB subsystem(s). The metal-air FCB subsystem(s) are refueled by manually loading and unloading metal-fuel from the metal-air FCB subsystem(s). Preferably, electrical power provided to the at least one electrical power-consuming load device is supplied solely by electrical power generated by discharging metal-fuel in the metal-air fuel cell battery subsystem(s). In addition, the metal-air FCB subsystem(s) preferably has a modular architecture that enable flexible and user-friendly operations in loading of metal-fuel, unloading of consumed metal-fuel, replacement of the ionic-conducting medium, and replacement of the cathode.

摘要： Disclosed are various types of metal-air FCB-based systems comprising a Metal-Fuel Transport Subsystem, a Metal-Fuel Discharging Subsystem, and a Metal-Fuel Recharging Subsystem. The function of the Metal-Fuel Transport Subsystem is to transport metal-fuel material, in the form of tape, cards, sheets, cylinders and the like, 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, the metal-fuel is discharged by one or more discharging heads in order produce electrical power across an electrical load connected to the subsystem while H2O and O2 are consumed at the cathode-electrolyte interface during the electro-chemical 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 metal material suitable for reuse in power discharging operations, while O2 is released at the cathode electrolyte interface during the electro-chemical reaction. In the illustrative embodiments, discharge and recharge parameters are detected, recorded, and processed in order to carry out discharging and recharging operations and metal-fuel/metal-oxide management operations in an efficient manner.
