Abstract
Fuel cells containing an anode of molten metal into which carbon has been dissolved, and a carbon-ion electrolyte, can be improved by making the molten metal the same that used as the cation in the solid carbon-ion electrolyte. Molten metals so selected are advantageous to use with carbon-ion electrolytes with the fluorite or perovskite prototype crystal structures. The improved device is an electrochemical fuel cell consisting of a cathode in contact with oxygen, an anode of liquid metal, especially molten metals of the lanthanide group or actinide group containing dissolved carbon, and a lanthanide- or actinide-containing carbon-ion electrolyte separating the anode and cathode electrodes.
