Abstract
High performance and complete electro‐oxidation of propane have been achieved in fuel cells operating in the range . The cells contain platinum catalyzed electrodes and concentrated phosphoric acid electrolytes. For best performances the electrolyte concentration and operating temperature are selected so that the partial pressure of water vapor over the electrolyte is in the vicinity of 600 mm. Observing this condition, complete propane‐oxygen fuel cells produced 50 ma/cm2 at 0.5v cell potential (with Ohmic resistance losses included) at 200°C. The mechanism of the electro‐oxidation of propane is discussed.
