AN Improved Electrolyte for Direct Oxidation Fuel Cells,

摘要

This technological base of the modern Army is heavily dependent on electrical power generation for its sophisticated weapons,communications and detection systems. The diversity of such systems has resulted in no single power generation system being suitable for all applications. The engine generator and secondary battery have long been the mainstays for field generator sets,with dependability and ease of transportation being two of their more important characteristics. With the increasing trend toward equipment mobility and the development of new sensitive intrusion and detection devices,which must operate in remote locations,undetected by the enemy,as well as in command areas,new emphasis is being placed on silence,efficiency and long term life capabilities. The fuel cell,and in particular the direct oxidation fuel cell,has the capability of meeting the electrical power requirements for low power applications.
