2. Organic nuclear reactor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_nuclear_reactor

   Selected organic-based coolants avoid this problem because they are hydrophobic and generally do not corrode metals. This is why they are often used as anti-corrosion agents and rustproofing. Greatly reducing corrosion allows the complexity of many of the reactor parts to be simplified, and fuel elements no longer require exotic formulations.

3. Alkaline fuel cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_fuel_cell

   The alkaline fuel cell (AFC), also known as the Bacon fuel cell after its British inventor, Francis Thomas Bacon, is one of the most developed fuel cell technologies. Alkaline fuel cells consume hydrogen and pure oxygen, to produce potable water, heat, and electricity. They are among the most efficient fuel cells, having the potential to reach 70%.

4. Liquid metal cooled reactor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_metal_cooled_reactor

   However, because lead has a high melting point and a high vapor pressure, it is tricky to refuel and service a lead cooled reactor. The melting point can be lowered by alloying the lead with bismuth , but lead-bismuth eutectic is highly corrosive to most metals [ 4 ] [ 5 ] used for structural materials.

5. Fuel cell - Wikipedia

   The alkaline fuel cell (AFC) or hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell was designed and first demonstrated publicly by Francis Thomas Bacon in 1959. It was used as a primary source of electrical energy in the Apollo space program. [44] The cell consists of two porous carbon electrodes impregnated with a suitable catalyst such as Pt, Ag, CoO, etc.

6. AlGa - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlGa

   Normally, aluminum does not react with water, since it quickly reacts in air to form a passivation layer of aluminum oxide. AlGa alloy is able to create aluminum nanoparticles for the hydrogen producing reaction. [3] [4] Since this reaction forms hydrogen gas, it can be used as a source of fuel or simply as a hydrogen gas generator. This ...

7. Lead-cooled fast reactor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-cooled_fast_reactor

   Reactors that use lead or lead-bismuth eutectic can be designed in a large range of power ratings. The Soviet union was able to operate the Alfa-class submarines with a lead-bismuth cooled intermediate-spectrum reactor moderated with beryllium from the 1960s to 1998, which had approximately 30 MW of mechanical output for 155 MW thermal power (see below).
