Recent advances in single-chamber fuel-cells: Experiment and modeling

چکیده
Single-chamber fuel cells (SCFC) are ones in which the fuel and oxidizer are premixed, and selective electrode catalysts are used to generate the oxygen partial pressure gradient that in a conventional dual-chamber design is produced by physical separation of the fuel and oxidizer streams. SCFCs have been shown capable of generating power densities above 700 mW/cm with appropriate catalysts, making them potentially useful in many applicationswhere the simplicity of a single gas chamber and absence of seals offsets the expected lower efficiency of SCFCs compared to dual-chamber
