Upscaling of Co‐Impregnated La _0.20 Sr _0.25 Ca _0.45 TiO ₃ Anodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: A Progress Report on a Decade of Academic‐Industrial Collaboration

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack technology offers a reliable, efficient, and clean method of sustainable heat electricity co-generation that can be integrated into micro-combined power (µ-CHP) units for use in residential small commercial environments. Recent years have seen the successful market introduction several SOFC-based systems, however, manufacturers still face some challenges improving durability tolerance traditional Ni-based ceramic-metal (cermet) composite anodes to harsh operating conditions, such as redox thermal cycling, overload exposure, sulfur poisoning coking, unprocessed natural gas feeds, long time periods. Creating “silver bullet” anode material solves all these issues has been focus SOFC research past 20 years, very few materials are reported address at button scale and, subsequently, successfully industrial stacks. Therefore, purpose this review is provide “powder power” overview academic-industrial cross-collaborative development novel, highly robust material, from fundamental science performed academic laboratories upscaling incorporation short stacks well-established, manufacturer systems an setting.
