molten carbonate fuel cell
1Molten carbonate fuel cell — Scheme of a molten carbonate fuel cell Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are high temperature fuel cells, that operate at temperatures of 600°C and above. Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are currently being developed for natural gas, biogas …
2molten carbonate fuel cell — noun a high temperature fuel cell that uses an electrolyte compound of molten carbonate salt mixture; the most efficient of fuel cells. Abbrev.: MCFC …
3Fuel cell — For other uses, see Fuel cell (disambiguation). Demonstration model of a direct methanol fuel cell. The actual fuel cell stack is the layered cube shape in the center of the image A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a… …
4fuel cell — a device that produces a continuous electric current directly from the oxidation of a fuel, as that of hydrogen by oxygen. [1920 25] * * * Device that converts chemical energy of a fuel directly into electricity (see electrochemistry). Fuel cells …
5Direct carbon fuel cell — A Direct Carbon Fuel Cell (DCFC) is a fuel cell that uses a carbon rich material as a fuel. The cell produces energy by combining carbon and oxygen, which releases carbon dioxide as a by product. The total reaction of the cell is C + O2 → CO2.… …
6Protonic ceramic fuel cell — The Protonic ceramic fuel cell or PCFC is a fuel cell based on a ceramic electrolyte material that exhibits high protonic conductivity at elevated temperatures. PCFCs share the thermal and kinetic advantages of high temperature operation at 700… …
7Metal hydride fuel cell — Metal hydride fuel cells are a subclass of alkaline fuel cells that are currently in the research and development phase. A notable feature is their ability to chemically bond and store hydrogen within the cell. This feature is shared with direct… …
8Direct methanol fuel cell — Direct methanol fuel cells or DMFCs are a subcategory of proton exchange fuel cells in which methanol is used as the fuel. Their main advantage is the ease of transport of methanol, an energy dense yet reasonably stable liquid at all… …
9Formic acid fuel cell — Direct formic acid fuel cells or DFAFCs are a subcategory of proton exchange membrane fuel cells where, the fuel, formic acid, is not reformed, but fed directly to the fuel cell. Their applications include small, portable electronics such as… …
10Direct-ethanol fuel cell — Direct ethanol fuel cells or DEFCs are a subcategory of Proton exchange fuel cells where the fuel, ethanol, is fed directly to the fuel cell. Contents 1 Advantages 2 Reaction 3 Issues 4 …
