【Abstract】 The Direct Carbon Fuel Cell(DCFC)is an efficient,environmental friendly technol- ogy,which employs a process by which carbon and oxygen are directly converted to electricity without the need for gasification and reforming,the thermodynamic efficiency of a DCFC is 80%, and the utilization ratio of fuel can reach 100%.Individual DCFC was assembled which operating temperature is 500-700℃.The cell used molten hydroxide with some catalysts as electrolyte, graphite rods as anode,stainless steel as cathode,gaseous oxygen with high water content as oxi- dant respectively.The performance of DCFC with different temperature,electrolyte and oxygen flow was studied.The results showed the performance of DCFC were better when the temperature increases.Comparing with sodium hydroxide,the electroconductivity of potassium hydroxide was better,the operating and performance of DCFC were more stable.The best performance of DCFC was in 70mL/min oxygen flow and at 650℃,In this condition,the open cell voltage can reach 0.76 V,and the maximum current and the power densities are 118mA/cm~2 and 0.054W/cm~2 re- spectively.更多还原
