A system and a method for suppressing the build up of metal carbonates in the electrolyte, using a porous cell separator is used to allow the use of different electrolyte compositions around the anode (anolyte) and the cathode (catholyte). This cell configuration enables the oxygen cathode to operate in a molten hydroxide electrolyte, and the carbon anode to operate in mixed carbonate-hydroxide melt, so that most of the advantages of using a molten hydroxide electrolyte will be retained.

Means of stabilizing electrolyte in a direct carbon-air fuel cell based on a molten metal hydroxide electrolyte

The invention is a method of measuring transfer functions of a physical system using a wideband excitation signal by exciting the system with a low-power, wide band input signal that has a rich frequency content over a wide band and using a stochastic process to derive a system transfer function over the excitation signal bandwidth.
