Improvement of phosphoric acid fuel cell stacks. Interim technical report, August 1977-November 1978

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5621204
Phosphoric acid fuel cell components and stack assembly methods were evaluated. Electrodes with Pt loading between 0.3 and 0.9 g/sq. ft. were employed. Matrix materials were phenolic (Kynol) fibers and SiC. Graphite bipolar plates with 33% phenolic resin binder were used. Stacks were tested on hydrogen and simulated reformed methanol for up to 6,800 hours. An 80-cell (2.1 kW) stack was built and delivered to MERADCOM.
