Abstract

The invention belongs to a high energy power supply technology and provides an integrated combined power supply of a metal oxygen cell / hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, in order to solve the problems of corrosion and hydrogen evolution of an anode of the metal oxygen cell and enhance the energy utilization ratio. The integrated combined power supply of the metal oxygen cell / hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is characterized by comprising two parts, including a main power supply metal oxygen cell and a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell. The integrated combined power supply sequentially consists of a metal anode, an electrolyte cavity, a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell anode, a diaphragm, a cathode and a cathode cavity, and a structure that two kinds of cell cathodes are integrated into a whole and two kinds of cell anodes share a same cell cavity is adopted. When the combined power supply generates power, a hydrogen by-product of the metal oxygen cell is directly used as fuel of the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, and therefore, the hydrogen by-product of the metal oxygen cell is eliminated in situ, and a part of energy can be recovered. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages of simple structure and convenient use and maintenance and is suitable for an emergency power supply and an underwater power supply which need high energy.
