Method of operating a fuel cell using sulfide fuel. [various oxidizers]

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7367055
;

A fuel cell with all-liquid feed and effluent is made feasible through the use of fuels comprising a liquid source of sulfide ion. The fuel cell comprises anolyte and catholyte compartments, and anode and cathode electrodes. The compartments are separated by an ion-transfer or mechanically porous membrane or the like. Gas producing reactions are suppressed through competing liquid product reactions. (auth)
