Abstract

A battery was constructed by including a polymer proton conductor, poly(propargyl alcohol) doped with perchloric acid, between electrodes of magnesium and gold. The characteristics of the cell, showing an open circuit voltage of 2.0–2.2V, were studied as the function of the relative humidity. It was found that the system behaves as a fuel cell and that the discharge current of the battery is due to magnesium oxidation at the anode and proton reduction at the cathode.
