The Performance of a Direct Borohydride/Peroxide Fuel Cell Using Graphite Felts as Electrodes
A direct borohydride/peroxide fuel cell (DBPFC) generates electrical power by recirculating liquid anolyte and catholyte between the stack and reservoirs, which is similar to the operation of flow batteries.
