The direct carbon fuel cell is a special type of high temperature fuel cell that directly uses solid carbon as anode and fuel. As an electrical power generator for power plants, it has a higher achievable efficiency (80%) than the molten carbonate and solid oxide fuel cells, and has less emissions than conventional coal-burning power plants. More importantly, its solid carbon-rich fuels (e.g. coal, biomass, organic garbage) are readily available and abundant. In this review, some fundamental study results of electrochemical oxidation of carbon in molten salts are summarized. Recent developments in direct carbon fuel cell configurations and performance are also discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
