Molten carbonate fuel cell - MCFC

The MCFC operates at high temperature ranges of 580 to 660°C.

The advantage of this type of cell is that there is no need for gas purification. In addition the cell is insensitive to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Natural gas, coal gas, biogas and synthesis gas can be used directly as fuels. No reformer is needed.

The electrolyte in this fuel cell is a salt melting of combined alkali carbonates (Li2CO3 / K2CO3).
