Title:
LIQUID METAL FUEL CELL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/144751
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a liquid metal fuel cell, comprising a body formed by assembling a cathode flow field plate (10), a gas cathode (3), an electrolyte membrane (9), and an anode flow field plate (11) in sequence. An oxidant (13) is injected into the cavity between the cathode flow field plate (11) and the gas cathode (3), and a fuel is injected into the cavity between the anode flow field plate (11) and the electrolyte membrane (9); the fuel is liquid metal. The present invention has the characteristics that metal is molten to flow when the working temperature of the cell is higher than the melting point of the fuel and the product metal hydroxide is also in a liquid state and flows after absorbing moisture and deliquescing; in addition, in the discharging mode of the reaction product, the staggered separation of the liquid and the gas in space is implemented due to the difference between the capillary forces of the liquid and gas in the pores of a hydrophobic gas cathode; the gas-liquid contact effective reaction area is increased, and channels are not blocked.
