Research Abstract

A innovational Fuel Cell/Battery (FCB) system that can function both as a secondary battery and as a fuel cell by using MnO2 as a cathode material and NiMH as an anode material was developed to enable to generate electricity with energy sparkling. The bi-functional characteristics and performance of FCB were investigated with rapid gas- or electrochemical charging/electrochemical discharging. The experimental results showed that the FCB system provides improved overall energy and power densities compared with conventional secondary batteries and fuel cells, respectively.
