Charactaristics of Damage and Fracture Process of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells under Simulated Operating Conditions by Using Ae Method

The purpose of present research is to estimate the damage of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) by using a new factor of acoustic emission (AE) during loading test. Acoustic emission signals and fracture processes were monitored by AE measurement system in real time during the test. In the investigation of fracture process with AE amplitude distributions, high-amplitude, middleamplitude and low-ampli...

Chemical imaging of Fischer-Tropsch catalysts under operating conditions

Although we often understand empirically what constitutes an active catalyst, there is still much to be understood fundamentally about how catalytic performance is influenced by formulation. Catalysts are often designed to have a microstructure and nanostructure that can influence performance but that is rarely considered when correlating structure with function. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS)...

Strategies for Lowering Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Operating Temperature

Lowering the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) to the intermediate range (500–700 oC) has become one of the main SOFC research goals. High operating temperatures put numerous requirements on materials selection and on secondary units, limiting the commercial development of SOFCs. The present review first focuses on the main effects of reducing the operating temperature in ...

Steam Electrolysis Using a Microtubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Reversible operation of a microtubular solid oxide fuel cell SOFC with high electrochemical efficiency is reported. These devices can ideally produce hydrogen from electricity and steam solid oxide electrolyser SOE and then use the stored hydrogen to generate electricity and heat SOFC , acting as a storage device for the electrical energy. A fuel-electrode-supported Ni–yttriastabilized zirconia...
