A cell employing a gaseous fuel has two electrodes 2, 3 separated by and in contact with a hydrated ion exchange synthetic resin membrane 1 which constitutes the electrolyte. The combustible gas is led into the cell through an inlet 6 and may consist of hydrogen, carbon monoxide or methane, air or oxygen being led in at 8. The gas chambers 7, 9 are provided with valved outlets 10, 11 for the escape of unused gases and gases produced by the reaction. Various anion and cation-exchange resins that can be used for the electrolyte 1 are described. The electrodes may consist of platinum, palladium, platinum or palladium black deposited on a base metal such as steel or nickel, or of iridium, rhodium, copper, nickel, metal oxides, or activated carbon, and may be in the form of sheets, screens or porous bodies. Specifications 571,029 and 577,707, [both in Group I], are referred to. |
