Abstract
In the conversion of chemical energy into electric energy by the electrochemical reaction of a gaseous anodic reactant and a gaseous cathodic reactant through the medium of a heteropoly acid solid electrolyte, the life of the solid electrolyte is notably increased by passing each reactant through pools of a saturated aqueous solution of a specific salt bordering on closed empty spaces thereby allowing the reactants to acquire prescribed humidities prior to the contact thereof with the anode and cathode.
