New electrocatalysts for hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells

Platinum-silver, palladium-gold, and platinum-gold alloys serve as oxygen reduction catalysts in high-current-density cells. Catalysts were tested on polytetrafluoroethylene-bonded cathodes and a hydrogen anode at an operating cell temperature of 80 degrees C.

Film breakers prevent migration of aqueous potassium hydroxide in fuel cells

Electrolyte film breakers made from polytetrafluoroethylene are installed in the reactant and water vapor removal outlets of each cell and sealed by elastomers. Use of these devices in the water vapor removal cavity outlets prevents loss of KOH solution through film migration during water removal.

A study of gas solubilities and transport properties in fuel cell electrolytes

An analysis of the rate of heat generation on the dissolution of sparingly soluble gas in electrolytes was made, and it leads to the conclusion that the temperature changes to be expected are much too small to be measured with precision owing to the slowness of the gas dissolution. It appears that more accurate gas solubility measurements are the only real hope of improved precision in heats of solution and other thermodynamic properties.
