A study on a thermally regenerative fuel cell utilizing low-temperature thermal energy

摘要

We have proposed a thermally regenerative fuel cell operated by low-temperature thermal energy such as solar thermal energy and low-temperature waste heat. It consists of the chemical reaction of 2-propanol dehydrogenation at the negative electrode and the acetone hydrogenation at the positive electrode by using the principle of a fuel cell. As the first step of this research, we investigated the acetone hydrogenation.
