The Hydrogen-Oxygen (Air) Fuel Cell w i t h Carbon Electrodes Karl Kordesch National Carbon Co., Cleveland, Ohio
I n this cell the electrode is 30% potassium hydroxide, and electricity is produced when hydrogen is fed into the inner porous carbon tube. It is characterized by high power output per unit weight and volume, conversion efficiency of about 70% and a capacity to carry high overloads for short peak demands Electrode Kinetics
