Advanced redox flow fuel cell using ferric chloride as main catalyst for complete conversion from carbohydrates to electricity

Abstract Liquid catalyzed fuel cell (LCFC) is a kind of redox flow fuel cell directly converting carbohydrates to electricity. To improve its efficiency, ferric chloride (FeCl3) was introduced as main catalyst. As mono catalyst, phosphomolybdic acid (PMo12) was much better than phosphotungstic acid...
