Abstract

The invention relates to an air-breathing photo-assisted biomass fuel cell. The fuel cell can transform optical energy and biomass energy into electric energy through optical excitation. The fuel cell comprises a light window, a liquid storage chamber, sealing washers, an anode fixed plate, an anode diffusion layer, a membrane electrode, a cathode gas diffusion layer, a cathode collector plate and an end plate. The inner sides of the anode fixed plate and the cathode collector plate are respectively provided with the sealing washers. The membrane electrode is arranged between the two sealing washers. The membrane electrode located at one side of the cathode collector plate is provided with the cathode gas diffusion layer. The membrane electrode located at one side of the anode fixed plate is provided with the anode diffusion layer. The outer side of the cathode collector plate is provided with the end plate. The outer side of the anode fixed plate is provided with the liquid storage chamber. The sealing washer is arranged between the liquid storage chamber and the anode fixed plate. The light window is laid in the hollow part of the middle of the front side of the liquid storage chamber. The light window is used as a light entrance port. A photo anode and a fuel solution are arranged in the liquid storage chamber. The fuel cell provides a cheap and eco-friendly novel approach of conversion of solar energy and biomass energy into electric energy.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and specifically relates to a self-breathing photo-assisted biomass fuel cell and its application. In the self-breathing photo-assisted biomass fuel cell, light energy and biomass energy are converted into electrical energy and released. Background technique [0002] Energy and environmental issues are two major issues facing the survival and sustainable development of human society. At present, the main energy systems in the world are mainly based on C-containing fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal. Energy conversion is mainly realized through the heat engine process. Due to the limitation of the Carnot cycle, not only the conversion efficiency is low, but also serious energy waste. And produce a lot of dust, CO 2 The pollution of the atmosphere, water and soil caused by harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and noise, seriously threatens the living environment of mankind, and the d...
