Title:
COMPARTMENTLESS AND ABIOTIC SUCROSE-AIR FUEL CELL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/014176
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrode which includes a base material and a nanoporous metal catalyst layer. According to the fuel electrode of the present invention, the metal catalyst layer has open nanopores which are three-dimensionally interconnected, and has a pore size and a pore connection portion size such that a hydrocarbon having an alcohol group passes through the connected pores in order to be in contact with the surface of a catalyst and cause a reaction. The present invention also provides a compartmentless fuel cell electrode pair which includes: the fuel electrode of the present invention; and an oxygen electrode coated with a polymer membrane into which a catalyst layer is introduced on the base material and which blocks the hydrocarbon having the alcohol group (which is a fuel molecule thereon) and allows the diffusion of oxygen molecules. Also provided is an abiotic saccharide-air fuel cell which includes the fuel electrode of the present invention, the oxygen electrode to which the polymer membrane is applied, and a container capable of containing the hydrocarbon having the alcohol group, and which uses the hydrocarbon having the alcohol group as fuel.
