Abstract:
A magnetic fuel cell with enhanced function due to effecting at least one otherwise quantum mechanically spin forbidden or kinetically disfavored chemical reaction, comprising:an electrode system, comprising a cathode having a cathode surface, an anode having an anode surface, a microstructured magnetic composite material disposed on at least one of said anode surface and said cathode surface, and a separator disposed between the anode and the cathode, â€ƒwherein â€ƒwhen an oxidant is reduced at the cathode, and a fuel is oxidized at the anode, then a first electrical current flows between the cathode and the anode, wherein the first electrical current has a magnitude which is greater than a second electrical current produced by a conventional nonmagnetic fuel cell.
