Abstract

Direct conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy is a problem which has received increasing attention during the last years. Fuel-cell power plants on the basis of natural gas are in the course of demonstration, hydrogen/air cells are discussed in the electric vehicle application. Future developments will depend on the progress in electrocatalysis (e.g. the direct anodic oxidation of methanol) and in material technology as in the case of molten-carbonate fuel cells for power generation.
