Description/Abstract The present research is oriented toward the task of developing an improved electrolyte for the hydrocarbon-air fuel cell.^A literature study of the properties of organic acids indicated that the following types of compounds warranted further investigation: Aromatic poly carboxylic acids - partially neutralized perfluoroaliphatic carboxylic acids, Mono, di and poly sulfonic acids and substituted sulfonic acids.^This was followed by an experimental program wherein the vapor pressure, wetting characteristics, electrical conductivity, chemical stability, and electrochemical stability were measured.
