Advances on methane reforming in solid oxide fuel cells

With the demand for anticipated green hydrogen and power production, novel upgraded catalytic processes are desired more effective utilization of precious natural resources. Methane steam reforming is an advanced matured technology converting methane to syngas. As a renewable energy resource containing large amount methane, biogas promising fuel production. Because flexibility high efficiency relative alternative technologies, solid oxide cells with internal capabilities may become economically viable generation. A renewed interest in flexible application co-generation has emerged recently, driven by spectacular advances cell technology. However, process suffers from inaccurate or unprecise descriptions. Knowledge factors influencing reaction rate on improved anode catalysts still required design operate such systems. Therefore, comprehensive review recent provides meaningful insight into technological progress. Herein, major descriptors engineering reviewed provide practical perspective direct cells, which serves as sustainable, co-production. Current challenges evaluated, perspectives future work discussed.
