n-Hexadecane Fuel for a Phosphoric Acid Direct Hydrocarbon Fuel Cell

Figure 11

Polarization curve for a hydrogen fueled PAFC: potential difference between the electrodes and current density (mA/cm²). Anode: hydrogen flow rate = 9.6 mL/min. Cathode: air flow rate = 245 mL/min. Temperature = 160°C. Pressure = 1 atm. Solid circles are data obtained after a one-week experiment with water-only (on an MEA that had been used in TOS experiments for ten weeks). Open squares are data for the Reference polarization curve.
