TOMSK, Jan 12 – RIA Tomsk.
Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) developed eco-friendly power
effective fuel "batteries" with long service life, which can be used
for heat and power supply of buildings, including remote areas, the press
service of the higher education institution reports on Tuesday.
"TPU scientists create fuel
cells, reducing costs of development of electric and thermal energy. They have
the increased efficiency and almost don't pollute the atmosphere", – it is
told in the message. It is specified that the "batteries" work at
natural gas, they can be used for power supply of buildings even in remote
areas.

According to the higher education
institution, the scientists create fuel cells with a magnetron dusting – the
thinnest layers of the materials of the "battery" are put at each
other by means of plasma. It is noted, that the difference of the technology,
developed in TPU, from the existing analogs, is that dispersion of all layers –
the anode, electrolyte and the cathode – is carried out in a uniform cycle.
Besides, TPU scientists increased
service life of the cells in comparison with analogs. It managed to be reached
thanks to the method of a magnetron dusting, by means of which it is possible
to receive the thinnest fuel cells. It allows to reduce working temperature to
650-700 degrees and, therefore, to increase service life of the batteries and
all equipment.
According to the project manager
Alexey Lebedinsky, TPU scientists will create first-ever technology of fuel
elements creation with the method of a magnetron dusting in a uniform cycle by
the end of 2018. The development has already got support of the Russian
Scientific Fund for a period of three years.
