| 20080199749 | ORGANIC ANODES FOR HYDROCARBON FUEL CELLS - Novel anodes for hydrocarbon fuel cells are described herein. Embodiments of the anode incorporate free radical initiators to facilitate the electro-chemical reaction kinetics at the anode in hydrocarbon fuel cells. In an embodiment, an anode for a hydrocarbon fuel cell comprises an electrically conductive substrate. The anode further comprises a layer comprising a free radical initiator. The layer is applied to the electrically conductive substrate. In addition, methods of making the anodes are disclosed. | 08-21-2008 |
