The reversibility of various carbons as electrodes in the ternary carbonate eutectic have been compared. The rest-potential of electrodeposited carbon (-2.2V versus the Danner-Rey electrode) depends on the presence of occluded oxide. The simulation and use of this carbon in a high temperature fuel cell is discussed.
