| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - Carbon is a reasonably good electrical conductor, and more importantly, it is able to withstand the action of the corrosive fluoride-containing molten electrolyte at about 960??C. Furthermore, carbon is an active part of the electrochemical reaction, and thereby, it contributes to reduce the cell voltage by 1.0 V. As such, electrical energy is saved by burning carbon.
