The design of a direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC) for continuous operation was successfully executed and is presented in this study. Petroleum coke, an abundant source Canada, used as pneumatically supplied to the anode side cell. open circuit voltage (OCV) reached 1.1 V generated power density 28 mW/cm2 at 700 °C 85 850 °C. After about 180 h cell's performance declined, due loss electrolyte. In n...

Final Report: Theoretical Studies of Oxygen Reduction and Proton Transfer in SOFCs and Nerve Agents on Selected Surfaces Report Title Using theoretical and computational chemistry methods, we have studied the oxygen reduction and proton transfer in molten carbonate salts related to solid oxide fuel cells, and adsorption of nerve agents of sarin on surfaces of CaO, graphene and graphane. The mec...

In this paper, a hybrid system, obtained by integrating a molten carbonate fuel cell with a micro-turbine is considered. The size of the plant is selected on the basis of the maximum biogas production registered by monitoring annual operation of an operating anaerobic digestion plant. The hybrid system produces electricity and supplies heat to the digester. Heat is necessary to keep correct ope...

Waste incineration fly ash and bone powder could be successfully recycled to calcium phosphate hydrogel, a type of fast proton conductor. The electric conductivity of the crystallized hydrogel from them was compared with that from calcium carbonate reagent. It was found that the conductivity of the hydrogel from bone powder is almost equal to that from calcium carbonate reagent, which is higher...
