Abstract
This invention concerns a redox fuel cell comprising an anode and a cathode separated by an ion selective polymer electrolyte-membrane, preferably a bi-membrane, the cathode comprising a cathodic material and a proton-conducting polymeric material; means for supplying a fuel to the anode region of the cell; means for supplying an oxidant to the cathode region of the cell; means for providing an electrical circuit between the anode and the cathode; a non-volatile redox couple in solution in flowing fluid communication with the cathode, the redox couple being at least partially reduced at the cathode in operation of the cell, and at least partially re-generated by reaction with the oxidant after such reduction at the cathode.

-
an anode and a cathode separated by an ion selective polymer electrolyte membrane, the cathode comprising a cathodic material and a proton-conducting polymeric material; a fuel inlet to the anode region of the cell; an oxidant inlet to the cathode region of the cell; and a non-volatile redox couple in solution, in flowing fluid communication with the cathode, the redox couple being at least partially reduced at the cathode in operation of the cell, and at least partially re-generated by reaction with an oxidant after such reduction at the cathode. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
