  DoD Fuel Cell - Fuel Cell Descriptions
The Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell (PAFC) is the most mature fuel cell technology in terms of system development and commercialization activities.
The PAFC was selected for substantial development a number of years ago because of the belief that, among the low temperature fuel cells, it was the only technology which showed relative tolerance for reformed hydrocarbon fuels and thus could have widespread applicability in the near term.
The PAFC uses liquid phosphoric acid as the electrolyte.

 Collecting the History of Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells
One advantage of PAFC cells is that at 200 degrees C they tolerate a CO concentration of about 1.5 percent.
PAFCs of up to 200 kw capacity are in commercial operation, and units of 11 MW capacity have been tested.
PAFCs are almost absent, however, from the papers in George J. Young's two volume compilation of a fuel cell symposia held in 1959 and 1961.

 Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell (PAFC) - NFCRC Tutorial
The electrolyte consists of concentrated phosphoric acid and a silicon carbide matrix is used to retain the acid while both the electrodes which also function as catalysts are made from Pt or its alloys.
The porous electrodes used in PAFCs contain a mixture of the electrocatalyst supported on carbon fl and a polymeric binder to bind the carbon fl particles together forming an integral structure A porous carbon paper substrate serves as a structural support for the electrocatalyst layer and as the current collector.
The conversion efficiency of fuel bound energy to electricity of a PAFC is typically 40 to 47% on a fuel (natural gas) LHV basis.

 Types - Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells
The ionic conductivity of phosphoric acid is low at low temperatures, so PAFCs are operated at the upper end of the range 150ºC—220ºC. The charge carrier in this type of fuel cell is the hydrogen ion (H+, proton).
Furthermore, at the operating temperature of PAFCs, the waste heat is capable of heating hot water or generating steam at atmospheric pressure.
The high efficiency of the PAFC when operated in cogeneration mode is one advantage of this fuel cell type.

These fuel cells are referred to as the phosphoric-acid fuel cell (PAFC) and the polymer-electrolyte-membrane fuel cell (PEMFC).
The primary interest in PAFCs is for stationary power generation, whereas PEMFC's have attracted widespread interest for use in transportation applications.
Without the availability of carbon as a reasonable stable and electronically conductive component, both the PAFC and PEMFC would be even further from commercialization.

The phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) is the only type of fuel cell which is commercially available today.
In addition, the operating temperature of the PAFC is rather too high for residential energy applications and too low for business/industrial applications.
Therefore, it is not foreseeable that the production of large of numbers of fuel cells will be a viable option for reducing costs.
