Results of the long-term testing of the ‘Photon’ fuel cell generator

Abstract Results of the long-term testing of the Photon fuel cell generator are considered in this article. Its ability to operate with satisfactory performance for 6000–7000 h is shown. Further increase of the service life is associated with solution of the fuel cell components' corrosion problem as well as with removal of the impurities from the fuel and oxidant, which cause electrolyte carbonization.
