ABSTRACT FUEL cells with acid electrolyte, such as dilute sulphuric acid, have the advantage over those with alkaline electrolyte that carbon dioxide is not absorbed by the electrolyte. In
principle it is therefore possible to use organic fuels, either direct or by reforming them with water vapour, without removing the resultant carbon dioxide. Even if carbon-free fuels such
as hydrogen or hydrazine are used, an acid electrolyte should be preferred, for carbon dioxide need not be removed from the air. In the past, however, no acid-resistant catalyst has been
found that might replace expensive and easily poisoned platinum. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution
