As a commonly available metal, aluminum has received great attention since its first use as an anode in a battery. Its high specific energy （even better volumetric energy density than lithium） makes it ideal for many primary battery applications. However, the development of A1/Air cell with alkaline electrolyte has been lagged behind mainly due to the unfavorable parasitic hydrogen generation. Herein, we designed and constructed a novel A1/H_2/Air tandem fuel cell to turn the adverse parasitic reaction into a useful process. The system consists of two anodes, namely, aluminum and hydrogen, and one common air-breathing cathode. The aluminum acts as both the anode for the A1/Air sub-cell and the source to generate hydrogen for the hydrogen/air sub-cell. The aluminum/air sub-cell has an open circuit voltage of 1.45 V and the H_2/Air sub-cell of 0.95 V. We demonstrated that the maximum power output of aluminum as a fuel was largely enhanced by 31% after incorporating the H_2/Air sub-cell with the tandem concept. In addition, a passive design was utilized in our tandem system to eliminate the dependence on auxiliary pumping sub-systems so that the whole system remained neat and eliminated the dependence of energy consuming pumps or heaters which were typically applied in micro fuel cells.展开更多

It includes five sections: ferrite ring loaded RF cavity, RF generator, low-level system, computer system and cavity cooling. The cavity is based on the coaxial resonator type which is short at the terminal with one gap and loaded with domestic ferrite rings. The RF generator is designed in a push-pull mode. The low-level control system is based on PID, DSP, FPGA and DDS9854+USB interface and has three feedback loops. This RF system is designed independently and manufactured domestically. For the first time, it realized the pulse modulation, variable harmonic and CW operational modes. The maximum output power is up to 70 kW and the 10 kV RF voltage is used to capture the irradiative beam and decelerate the beam from 400 to 30 MeV/u.展开更多
