Abstract
The anodic oxidation of methanol was investigated in the solid electrolyte fuel cell , , , , , ,, air operating at atmospheric pressure and temperatures 820–970 K. It was found that methanol can be selectively oxidized to formaldehyde with simultaneous production of electrical energy. Selectivity to formaldehyde is on the order of 90% at methanol conversions exceeding 30%. The main by‐products are and some . The cell appears to be a promising candidate for the cogeneration of electrical energy and formaldehyde.Keywords
