Molten-carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are high-temperature fuel cells that operate at temperatures of 600 °C and above. Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) were developed for natural gas, biogas (produced as a result of anaerobic digestion or biomass gasification), and coal-based power plants for electrical utility, industrial, and military applications. MCFCs are high-temperature fuel cells that use an electrolyte composed of a molten carbonate salt mixture suspended in a porous, chemically inert ceramic matrix of beta-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE). Since they operate at extremely high temperatures of 650 °C (roughly 1,200 °F) and above, non-precious metals can be used as catalysts at the anode and cathode, reducing costs.

  • Molten-carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are high-temperature fuel cells that operate at temperatures of 600 °C and above. Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) were developed for natural gas, biogas (produced as a result of anaerobic digestion or biomass gasification), and coal-based power plants for electrical utility, industrial, and military applications. MCFCs are high-temperature fuel cells that use an electrolyte composed of a molten carbonate salt mixture suspended in a porous, chemically inert ceramic matrix of beta-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE). Since they operate at extremely high temperatures of 650 °C (roughly 1,200 °F) and above, non-precious metals can be used as catalysts at the anode and cathode, reducing costs. Improved efficiency is another reason MCFCs offer significant cost reductions over phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFCs). Molten carbonate fuel cells can reach efficiencies approaching 60%, considerably higher than the 37–42% efficiencies of a phosphoric acid fuel cell plant. When the waste heat is captured and used, overall fuel efficiencies can be as high as 85%. Unlike alkaline, phosphoric acid, and polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, MCFCs don't require an external reformer to convert more energy-dense fuels to hydrogen. Due to the high temperatures at which MCFCs operate, these fuels are converted to hydrogen within the fuel cell itself by a process called internal reforming, which also reduces cost. Molten carbonate fuel cells are not prone to poisoning by carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide — they can even use carbon oxides as fuel — making them more attractive for fueling with gases made from coal. Because they are more resistant to impurities than other fuel cell types, scientists believe that they could even be capable of internal reforming of coal, assuming they can be made resistant to impurities such as sulfur and particulates that result from converting coal, a dirtier fossil fuel source than many others, into hydrogen. Alternatively, because MCFCs require CO2 be delivered to the cathode along with the oxidizer, they can be used to electrochemically separate carbon dioxide from the flue gas of other fossil fuel power plants for sequestration. The primary disadvantage of current MCFC technology is durability. The high temperatures at which these cells operate and the corrosive electrolyte used accelerate component breakdown and corrosion, decreasing cell life. Scientists are currently exploring corrosion-resistant materials for components as well as fuel cell designs that increase cell life without decreasing performance. (en)
  • Les piles à combustible à carbonate fondu, ou MCFC (d'après l'acronyme de l'appellation anglaise Molten-carbonate fuel cell) sont des piles à combustible fonctionnant à des températures à partir de 600 °C. Elles démontrent les plus grandes efficacités parmi tous les types de piles à combustible (y compris celles à oxyde solide, à membrane d'échange de protons et à acide phosphorique), et ne sont pas sujettes aux problèmes de matériaux à haute température qui affectent la technologie des piles à combustible à oxyde solide.

  • La cella a combustibile a carbonati fusi (MCFC) è una cella a combustibile ad alta temperatura, che opera a temperature di oltre 600 °C. Le celle a combustibile a carbonati fusi (MCFC) sono attualmente in fase di sviluppo per l'utilizzo in centrali elettriche a gas naturale e a carbone, per l'energia elettrica pubblica, per applicazioni a livello industriale e militare. Le MCFC usano un elettrolito composto da sali di carbonati fusi sospesi in una matrice, la quale è chimicamente inerte, porosa e realizzata in ceramica di BASE (Beta-alumina solid electrolyte). Data l'alta temperatura di esercizio di 650 °C (circa 1,200 °F) e oltre, i metalli non preziosi possono essere impiegati come catalizzatori all'anodo e al catodo riducendo i costi. Un altro motivo della riduzione dei costi è la maggiore efficienza delle MCFC rispetto alle PAFC. Le MCFC posso raggiungere un'efficienza del 60%, un valore considerevolmente più alto rispetto al 37%-42% degli impianti che impiegano celle a combustibile ad acido fosforico. Con l'impiego in cogenerazione dell'energia termica di scarto si può arrivare ad un'efficienza generale dell'85%. A differenza dell'alcalino, acido fosforico, e delle membrane polimeriche delle celle a combustibile, le MCFC non necessitano un riformatore esterno per convertire i combustibili elettricamente più densi in idrogeno. A causa delle alte temperature d'esercizio delle MCFC, i combustibili vengono convertiti in idrogeno all'interno della cella stessa grazie al processo di reforming interno. Le MCFC non sono inclini ad essere inibite o avvelenate (Le sostanze che riducono l'azione dei catalizzatori sono chiamate inibitori del catalizzatore se l'azione è reversibile, e veleni del catalizzatore se irreversibile) da monossido di carbonio o diossido di carbonio — posso addirittura utilizzare gli ossidi di carbonio come combustibile— rendendoli più attraenti per l'alimentazione con gas derivati dal carbone. Dato che sono molto più resistenti alle impurità rispetto ad altre celle a combustibile, gli scienziati credono che sia possibile il reforming interno del carbone, assumendo che possano essere costruite per resistere alle impurità come lo zolfo e il particolato risultante dalla conversione del carbone. Lo svantaggio primario della corrente tecnologia delle MCFC è la durata della cella. L'alte temperature a cui operano queste celle e l'elettrolito corrosivo utilizzato per accelerare la ripartizione e la corrosione dei componenti, diminuiscono la durata della cella. Gli scienziati stanno attualmente sperimentando l'impiego di materiali resistenti alla corrosione nonché nuovi design strutturali per compensare questo difetto senza ridurre la performance. (it)
