Topics studied include: (1) oxygen reduction and cyclic voltammetry on carbon supported platinum electrodes in 85% H/sub 3/PO/sub 4/; (2) oxygen reduction on platinum in 85% H/sub 3/PO/sub 4/ with small additions of trifluoromethane sulfonic acid or trifluoracetic acid; (3) overpotential characteristics of electrodes at interfaces with solid oxide electrolytes; and (4) oxygen diffusion through interconvection material in high temperature solid electrolyte fuel cells. Also, studies of phosphoric acid and molten carbonate fuel cell technologies are surveyed. (WHK)
