Abstract Carbon fuel cells,directly consuming solid carbon as fuel,have no difficulty in both transportation and storage.Carbon fuel cell is much more efficient than hydrogen fuel cell and its product carbon dioxide does not need further purification for commercial use and is easy for sequestration.Further,solid carbon can be obtained from a variety of natural resources with large enough reserves and with a high exergy retaining ratio.In recent years carbon fuel cells have gained increasing attention and have shown several promising prospects in the cases of centralized and distributed power supply.In this paper,the principle of the direct carbon fuel cell,its state-of-the-art components and performance and the prototype structure are reviewed and discussed.
