Abstract

The energy industry is based mainly on coal, crude oil, natural gas or nuclear energy. However, in recent years renewable energy sources have also become increasingly used. One of the devices that uses renewable energy sources is a fuel cell (FC). The fuel cell can be powered by hydrogen, methanol, hydrazine or other substrates. Commercial fuel cells use mainly hydrogen, methanol or hydrazine. Due to the fact that water is the only by-product, hydrogen is the considered to be the best fuel for fuel cells. Problems with hydrogen storage cause, however, that new fuels for FCs are very desirable. Vegetable oil seems to be such substance, application of which as fuel in FCs is possible. But in the first place, it is necessary to determine possibilities of electrooxidation of this fuel. The paper presents the research on sesame oil electrooxidation. The work shows results of electrooxidation of sesame oil emulsion on a smooth platinum electrode in acid electrolyte. The maximum stable current density reached in the tests was 5 mA cm−2.
