Title:
ANODE ELECTRODE FOR DIRECT CARBON FUEL CELL AND DIRECT CARBON FUEL CELL INCLUDING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/035057
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an anode electrode for a direct carbon fuel cell and to a direct carbon fuel cell including same and, more particularly, to an anode electrode for a direct carbon fuel cell containing a porous metal being an electrode for a direct carbon fuel cell in which molten carbonate or molten hydroxide is the electrolyte, and to a direct carbon fuel cell including the anode electrode, a cathode electrode, and the electrolyte. According to the present invention, the surface area of the electrode is maximized by using a porous metal having a wide surface area, the contact area between the electrode and the fuel is increased by allowing fuel particles to penetrate the porous metal, and the surface of the porous metal is coated with an oxide for improved wettability. Accordingly, triple phase boundary contact is maximized, and the efficiency of the fuel cell can be significantly improved by addressing the problem of discontinuous fuel supply.
