Abstract

This process of a fuel cell system consists of a separate anode cell (1) where the fuel (6) is introduced and a separate cathode cell (2) where the oxidant (23) is introduced. The fluid electrolyte is circulated between the anode cell and the cathode cell to provide ion transport for the process while an independent set of electrodes (5, 22) immersed in the anode fluid and in the cathode fluid and joined externally by an electrical conductor (31), provide the electronic circuit. This fuel system avoids the need for diaphragms or porous electrodes between the anode and the cathode sections of fuel cells for faster reactions rates.
