Abstract
A molten carbonate fuel cell comprising an anode, a cathode and a porous body impregnated with an electrolyte composition of metal carbonates, said body being sandwiched between both the electrodes and being made of one or more refractory, non-electron conductive, inorganic materials containing lithium titanate in an amount sufficient to stabilize said inorganic materials at a temperature of operation of said fuel cell, and operated by supplying a fuel into a fuel chamber placed in the anode side and an oxidant into an oxidant chamber placed in the cathode side, has improved stability for a long period of time and high fuel cell performance.
