FUSED CARBONATE FUEL CELL

摘要

: The invention relates to a fused carbonate type of fuel cell comprising an electrolytic body retaining an electrolyte therein which is arranged between an anode and a cathode. Electricity is electrochemically generated by feeding fuel gas and an oxidant to a fuel chamber arranged on the anode side and an oxidant chamber arranged on the cathode side, respectively. The fuel cell is characterized in that the electrolytic body comprises an electrolyte, an electrolyte-holding member for holding the electrolyte and an inorganic binder. The electrolytic body has the advantage that it can be prepared and used in the cell without warping and cracking. Preferably, the binder is an inorganic polymer.
