Molten electrolyte dual-phase membranes for intermediate temperature fuel cells

A fuel cell system, comprising:

• a cathode and an anode;
• a porous ceramic support positioned between the cathode and anode;
• a molten electrolyte mixture in pores of the ceramic support;
• a power source for applying a voltage differential across the cathode and the anode;
• and
• a water flow system on an outer side of the anode, wherein the outer side of the anode is opposite an inner side of the anode, wherein the inner side of the anode is adjacent to the ceramic support, wherein the water flow system is configured to sweep steam across the outer side of the anode,
• wherein the fuel cell system is configured to synthesize ammonia from water and nitrogen gas.
