Performance of an alkaline-acid direct chloro ethanol fuel cell
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports on the performance of an alkaline-acid direct chloro ethanol fuel cell (AA-DCLEFC) that is composed of an alkaline anode, a membrane and an acid cathode. The effects of membrane thickness and the concentration of various species at both the anode and cathode on the cell performances are investigated. It has been demonstrated that the peak power density of this AA-DCLEFC that employs a 25-μm thick membrane is as high as 360 mW cm at 60c, which is about 6 times higher than the performance of conventional DCLEFC reported in the literature.
