Abstract

The most successful fuel cells developed to date rely on highly reactive fuels such as hydrogen or hydrazine, or moderately active materials such as methanol or glycol. On an energy-content basis, these fuels are considerably more expensive than the common petroleum-derived fuels. In military operations, dependence upon special fuels is to be avoided for logistic as well as economic reasons. The problems of utilizing common hydrocarbon fuels are discussed in this paper, and some possible solutions assessed. The high-temperature molten-salt cell is shown to have particular advantages for this purpose. Experiments in the construction of high-temperature cells are described, including the use of impregnated discs, flame-sprayed layers and paste electrolytes. Results are given for short duration tests on such cells using a variety of common fuels and with air as oxidant.
