Abstract
A molten carbonate fuel cell includes unit cells and separator plates stacked alternately, with each unit cell having an anode of porous nickel-base alloy, a cathode of porous nickel-oxide doped with lithium, and an electrolyte plate including a eutectic mixture of a carbonate of alkaline metals disposed between the anode and cathode. The separator plate is a heat-resistant metal plate. The anode of porous nickel-base alloy contains 1 to 10 weight % of at least one of molybdenum and tungsten, resulting in less deterioration after a long operation.
