A Carbon Dioxide Tolerant Aqueous‐Electrolyte‐Free Anion‐Exchange Membrane Alkaline Fuel Cell

Abstract

Fuelling the discussion: A carbonate-form metal-cation-free alkaline membrane was evaluated in a fuel cell, and, contrary to prior wisdom, the carbonate content of the membranes was found to decrease. Surprisingly, the power performance was higher relative to tests with the equivalent hydroxide-form membranes.
