Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Novel electricity generation method was studied which electrochemically produces stable electric power from low excergy waste heat source such as 100 degree centigrade. Methanol and Lithium chloride were selected as solvent and solute. Electromotive force and resistance were measured for six ion exchange membranes under several concentration difference conditions. Three to ten cells stack were assembled and tests showed current-voltage characteristics and power density data. Subjects to be solved are improvement of anion exchange membrane and reduction of resistance.
