Membrane-electrode assembly, direct carbon fuel cell including the same, and method of preparing the same

摘要

Disclosed herein is a direct carbon fuel cell in which a coal fuel is oxidized electrochemically so as to create electrons to cause the electrons to generate electricity by a voltage difference between two electrodes. Specifically, a membrane-electrode assembly for operating a low rank coal fuel, a direct carbon fuel cell including the same, and a method of preparing the same are provided.

主权项

1. A membrane-electrode assembly for a direct carbon fuel cell, comprising:
(a) a cathode; (b) an electrolyte disposed above and adjacent to the cathode; (c) an anode disposed above and adjacent to the electrolyte; (d) a current collector disposed on the anode; (e) a coal fuel layer covering an upper surface and a lower surface of the current collector and filling the current collector; and (f) a wire connected with the current collector and protruding from the coal fuel layer covering the upper surface of the current collector.
