NEW MATERIALS FOR MOLTEN-CARBONATE FUEL-CELL

The research and development works on molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC ) are being carried out worldwide as one of the most promising power g eneration systems for next generation. For the commercialization of MC FC, however, further improvements are necessary on MCFC technologies i ncluding the stack lifetime. From this point of view, MCFC Research As sociation is conducting the development of new material technologies t o achieve the longer stack life. The basic stage of the development ha s almost been completed for each technology and the verification of th e aimed function is currently underway.
