The operation and construction of dual ion exchange membrane fuel cells are described, and data are given for the operating characteristics of dual and single membrane cells. Membranes of varying diffusivity, thickness, and composition are compared. The strong effect of electrode construction is noted. Particular attention has been given to the changes that occur during long time operation, and the importance of water and electrolyte transfer is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
