摘要：

An active oxygen species in molten carbonate is the key to elucidate the complex mechanism of the cathode reaction in MCFC. However, under acidic condition of MCFC operation (P-CO2 > 1.01 x 10(4) Pa), the exact chemical state of the active oxygen species remains unclear and is a subject of continuous debates. In this work, we present the first experimental observation of peroxocarbonate/peroxodicarbonate species in acidic molten carbonate by using in-situ Raman spectroscopic technique. The results indicate that the predominant oxygen species (O-2(2-)) in basic lithium-rich melts became unstable with the increase of acidity level in the melts and reacted with CO2, to produce peroxocarbonate or peroxodicarbonate anion. In combination with the result of theoretical calculation, it is deduced that the peroxodicarbonate mechanism is the dominant feature in the cathode reaction path in MCFC.
