Embodiment 11

[0033] Embodiment 11 constructs DCFC unit cell

[0034] Weigh analytically pure NaOH, LiOH, KOH, Al(OH)3 , Y 2 o 3 , mixed according to the mole percentage of the electrolyte, NaOH 20-30%, LiOH 10-20%, KOH 40-50%, Al(OH) 3 10-30%, Y 2 o 3 1-15%, after fully mixing, take out and dry as electrolyte. The distance between the anode and the cathode is 0.5-5cm, and the air flow rate of the cathode is 10-100ml / min. The anode material is graphite, and the cathode is the materials of Examples 1-10 respectively. The working temperature is 500℃~630℃. The structure of a direct carbon fuel cell unit cell is shown in Figure 1.

[0035] Embodiment 12 power density test

[0036] The rare earth oxide composite cathode material of Example 3 was placed in a DCFC unit cell to test the DCFC volt-ampere characteristic curve. The variation curves of DCFC power density and open circuit voltage with current density were measured at 500°C and 630°C, respectively. Electrode effective area 3.23cm 2 . The volt-ampere characteristics of the battery are shown in Figure 2. It can be seen that the maximum power density of DCFC at 500°C is 70mW / cm 2 , the maximum current density is 328mA / cm 2 ;The maximum power density of DCFC at 630℃ is 102mW / cm 2 , the maximum current density is 467mA / cm 2 . Table 2 shows the experimental parameters and battery performance data of DCFC at 500°C and 630°C.
