“…The OCVs were substantially lower than that of H 2 but were higher than that reported for jet fuel [41], waste cooking oil [18], toluene [42] and gas hydrocarbon fuels such as butane [43]. In case of butyl ester formulation OCV was lowest.…”

“…The flow rate maintained is very low and in addition to that the pulsating nature of the pumps can causes fluctuations in the fuel delivered. Further decrease in the formulation concentration from 50 to 20% at low flow rates would decrease the fuel concentration and would limit the current obtained [41]. The life of the fuel cell operated with the various ester formulations was considerably lower as compared to the fuel cell operated on waste cooking oil [41].…”

“…Studies using low molecular weight hydrocarbons from methane to butane were performed by Steele et al [10], Murray et al [11], Zhu et al [12], Gross et al [13], and Lee et al [14]. Larger molecules were studied by Ding et al [15] (octane), Kishimoto et al [16] (n-dodecane), and Zhou et al [17] (jet fuel). Our own work has focused on modeling the fuel cell reactor [18][19][20], modeling the fuel cell catalyst [21][22][23], experimental development of an electrolyte that is appropriate for temperatures above the boiling point of water [24][25][26], and experimental fuel cell studies [27,28].…”

n-Hexadecane Fuel for a Phosphoric Acid Direct Hydrocarbon Fuel Cell

The objective of this work was to examine fuel cells as a possible alternative to the diesel fuel engines currently used in railway locomotives, thereby decreasing air emissions from the railway transportation sector. We have investigated the performance of a phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) reactor, with n-hexadecane, C 16 H 34 (a model compound for diesel fuel, cetane number = 100). This is the first extensive study reported in the literature in which n-hexadecane is used directly as the fuel. Measurements were made to obtain both polarization curves and time-on-stream results. Because deactivation was observed hydrogen polarization curves were measured before and after n-hexadecane experiments, to determine the extent of deactivation of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA). By feeding water-only (no fuel) to the fuel cell anode the deactivated MEAs could be regenerated. One set of fuel cell operating conditions that produced a steady-state was identified. Identification of steady-state conditions is significant because it demonstrates that stable fuel cell operation is technically feasible when operating a PAFC with n-hexadecane fuel.

Petroleum Diesel and Biodiesel Fuels Used in a Direct Hydrocarbon Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell

et al. 2015

The performance of a direct hydrocarbon phosphoric acid fuel cell, PAFC, was investigated using petroleum diesel, biodiesel, and n-hexadecane as the fuels. We believe this is the first study of a fuel cell being operated with petroleum diesel as the fuel at the anode. Degradation in fuel cell performance was observed prior to reaching steady state. The degradation was attributed to a carbonaceous material forming on the surface of the anode. Regardless of the initial degradation, a steady-state operation was achieved with each of the diesel fuels. After treating the anode with water the fuel cell performance recovered. However, the fuel cell performance degraded again prior to obtaining another steady-state operation. There were several observations that were consistent with the suggestion that the carbonaceous material formed from the diesel fuels might be a reaction intermediate necessary for steady-state operation. Finally, the experiments indicated that water in the phosphoric acid electrolyte could be used as the water required for the anodic reaction. The water formed at the cathode could provide the replacement water for the electrolyte, thereby eliminating the need to provide a water feed system for the fuel cell.
