Aluminum/air cell in students’ experiment
Equipment list
Formiate cell
The inert electrode with catalytic action used in
place of the metal electrode enables the conversion
of formiate to carbonate. The electrolyte also
serves as the fuel. The cell and the electrode can
be reused indefinitely.

electrochemistry
Aluminum-air element · formiate cell
Various metals and a sodium chloride electrolyte solution which are placed
in the trough form a cell which is capable of generating a current. In this
example current and voltage produced by the aluminum-air cell are measured
with and without loading by the motor. In addition to experiments
on optimizing the metal/air element, it is also possible to record load curves
and characteristics.
