Mined over matter : The partial oxidation of sub‐bituminous coal by Fe III ions in 5 M H 2 SO 4 at 100 °C was used in the anodic compartment in a prototype coal fuel cell, with a solution of VO 2 + /VO 2+ in 5 M H 2 SO 4 in the cathodic compartment (see scheme). The cell operated without loss of performance for 1000 h at 100 °C, with a maximum current density of 5 A L −1 and a power density of 0.6 W L −1 .
