Novel carbon-ion fuel cells. First quarterly technical progress report, January--March 1994

Apparatuses are being constructed to create pressed and sintered rare-earth carbide pellets for carbon-ion conduction testing. Attempts were made to determined the temperature of crystalline phase transformation of the CeC{sub 2} and LaC{sub 2} where they change from the alpha CaC{sub 2} structure to the beta CaF{sub 2} structure.
