Application of refuse fuels in a direct carbon fuel cell system

Role of coal characteristics in the electrochemical behaviour of hybrid direct carbon fuel cells

“…Moreover, B-M shows a remarkable maximum power density compared to other direct coal fuel cells operated with mineral coals even though a thick electrolyte is used for the electrochemical testing. [4][5][6][7][8]12,17,33 . In section 3.2 we have shown that the plasticity of the bituminous coal is clearly reduced after the oxidation pre-treatment.…”

Effect of Coal Gases on Electrochemical Reactions in the Direct Carbon Fuel Cell System

“…In this paper, the experiment was consisted of half-cell part and performance evaluation part of DCFC system [9], [10]. Fig.…”

“…This fact results in importance of the fuel analysis because the solid fuel was used instead of H 2 gas in other fuel cells. Therefore, the fuel analysis was performed to investigate the relation between fuel properties and the oxidation reactions [9], [10]. All fuel samples were conducted by proximate analysis and ultimate analysis and shown in Table I.…”

Investigation of chemical and electrochemical reactions mechanisms in a direct carbon fuel cell using olive wood charcoal as sustainable fuel

“…Refuse fuels such as refuse derived fuel (RDF) and refuse plastic/ paper fuel (RPF), which are pellets made from urban wastes, have been also tested as fuel in DCFC system by Ahn et al [18]. Despite their significant low carbon content, these renewable fuels exhibited a maximum power density level up to 43e62% compared to that of coals.…”
