Development of molten carbonate fuel cell technology. Technical progress report, October-December 1983

Technical Report · Sat Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1983

OSTI ID:6410323

Component development during this quarter concentrated on two objectives: development of a creep resistant ribbed anode and development of an internal reforming catalyst for methane reforming in the MCFC anode environment. Single cell testing is being performed in support of anode and catalyst development, NiO cathode endurance and thin matrix development. Endurance testing of NiO cathodes is being performed to define the economic life of NiO and to identify practical means of extending life. Electrolyte matrix fabrication and testing activity is concentrating on tape cast matrix development.
