Abstract
A fuel storage device for fuel cell comprises a tank-in-tank or tank-by-tank type tank. In addition, a pipe-in-pipe or pipe-by-pipe delivery system is also provided. A fuel cell system using the fuel storage device comprises liquid fuel at the anode side, liquid oxidant at the cathode side, electrolyte, fuel and oxidant tank-in-tank storage system, fuel and oxidant pipe-in-pipe deliverable system, and by-products handling at both the anode and cathode sides. The liquid fuels include amine-based compounds such as hydrazine, hydroxyl amine, ammonia, and their derivatives.
