Development of molten carbonate fuel cell technology. Technical progress report, July-September 1984

Technical Report · Sun Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1984

OSTI ID:6219621

Significant progress has been made during this quarter in the areas of internal reforming cell testing, creep resistance anode testing and tape matrix endurance testing. Component development is concentrated on two primary activities: development of a creep resistant ribbed anode and development of a methane reforming catalyst for use within the MCFC anode environment. Single cell testing is being performed in support of anode and catalyst development, nickel oxide cathode endurance and thin matrix development. Endurance testing of NiO cathodes is being conducted to define the economic life of NiO and to identify practical means of extending cathode life. Electrolyte matrix fabrication and testing activity is concentrating on tape cast matrix development.
