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...

Investigation the performance of solid oxide fuel cells and the role of nanotechnology in its construction

Nanotechnology is well used in the development and performance improvement of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The high operating temperature of SOFCs (700-900 ° C) has led to serious shortcomings in their overall performance and durability. Hence, the high operating temperature has been reduced to the average temperature range of approximately 44-700 Celsius, which has improved performance and ...

Fabrication Methods and Performance in Fuel Cell and Steam Electrolysis Operation Modes of Small Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: A Review

*Correspondence: Victor M. Orera, CSIC-Universidad de Zaragoza, C/Pedro Cerbuna 10, Zaragoza 50009, Spain e-mail: [email protected] Higher energetic density, better resistance to thermal stresses, and smaller starting times as compared with conventional planar stacks, make the so-called microtubular SOFC (mT-SOFCs with diameters in the millimeter size region) devices suitable for portable applica...
