Abstract: Al203 and Li2CO3 were mixcd and heated at 600~700℃ f0r producing LiAlO2 used as the matrixmaterials of the Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell. While ordinary Al2O3 was chosen as the reactant, because itsparticle size and bulk density were large, the fabricated particle size of LiAlO2 was large too. While Al2O3made from on organic compound was selected as the reactant, the fabricated particle size of LiAlO2 wassmall. The prepared LiAlO2 was mixed with water soluble binder and softener, and rolled into matrix. The pprepared matrix was assembled with sintered Ni to form a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell. The experimental results showed that the cell performance was perfect.

Key words: molten carbonate fuel cell, matrix material, LiAlO2
