Abstract
A method of producing a fuel or concentrate thereof for a fuel cell. The method comprises providing a solution of at least one hydroxide ion providing compound in a liquid medium and combining and mixing one or more hydride compounds with this solution to provide a colloidal dispersion of the hydride compound(s) in the alkaline medium. This Abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
Claims48
A method of producing a fuel or fuel concentrate for a fuel cell, which method comprises:
- (a) providing a solution of one or more hydroxide ion providing compounds in a liquid medium;
- and
- (b) combining and mixing one or more hydride compounds with the solution of (a) to provide a colloidal dispersion of the one or more hydride compounds in an alkaline medium.
A method of producing a fuel or fuel concentrate for a fuel cell, which method comprises:
- (a) providing a solution of one or more hydroxide ion providing compounds in an aqueous medium, the solution having a concentration of hydroxide ions of at least about 0.2 mole per liter and being at a temperature of not higher than about 70° C.;
- and
- (b) adding one or more metal hydride compounds to the solution of (a) and mixing the one or metal hydride compounds with the solution to provide a colloidal dispersion of the one or more metal hydride compounds in an alkaline aqueous medium;
- the one or more hydride compounds being employed in an amount which results in a total concentration thereof in the fuel or fuel concentrate of at least about 2 moles per liter.
A method of producing a fuel of fuel concentrate for a fuel cell, which method comprises mixing one or more hydroxide ion providing compounds, one or more hydride compounds and one or more polar solvents in relative ratios which result in a colloidal dispersion of the one or more hydride compounds in an alkaline medium.
