| 摘要 |
The specification describes a molten carbonate fuel cell electric energy source incorporating a novel pair of electrodes comprising a pair of permeable thin metallic films painted on a magnesia electrolyte matrix and a plurality of fiber metal wicks flocked onto the films. During operation, the molten carbonate electrolyte permeates the wicks, which extend into the gas manifolds, to provide very large surface areas for three-phase fuel cell reactions covered by thin films of electrolyte supplied by large reservoirs in the wicks to minimize cell overvoltage. In addition to the preferred embodiment, a process for fabricating fuel cells and electrochemical electrodes is described. Also, applications to other types of fuel cells, batteries and electrochemical systems are described.
