It was shown about 25 years ago that solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) could also work in the solid oxide electrolyser cell (SOEC) mode. Electrolysis of both water (steam) and CO2 was demonstrated. During the 1990'ies very little electrolysis work was reported in the open literature, whereas an enormous amount of results on the SOFC R&D appeared. Recently, the increasing interest in hydrogen produc...

The unique and beneficial characteristics of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology hold much promise for their eventual widespread adoption in numerous commercial building applications. Nevertheless, cost durability challenges remain that currently limit SOFC penetration stationary energy Under the U.S. DOE ARPA-E INTEGRATE program, Colorado School Mines its partners are developing a novel hy...

A new strategy to reduce the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is needed foster progress developing high-performance and stable SOFC as a solution thermal stress degradation components induced by high-temperature SOFC. The use lithium (Li) cathode can increase cell’s efficiency, it allows for faster ion transport higher reaction rate. This study presents an attractive approa...

Pyrolysis experiments of n-hexane were performed and the product distribution and fuel consumption were measured as a function of temperature. The experimental temperatures ranged from 550-675 degrees C, with a pressure of approximately 1 atm, and residence times of approximately 5 s. N-Hexane was used as a model compound to represent the linear alkanes that might be found in practical hydrocar...

Background: Malathion (MT), an organophosphorus pesticide, induces hepatotoxicity and is associated with hyperglycemia and the development of diabetes mellitus.  Objectives: This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of sub-acute exposure to sub-lethal dose of MT in the liver of diabetic rats.  Methods: Non-diabetic and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats received MT at a dose of 150 mg/kg...

Fuel cells could play an important role in the ongoing energy transition by providing clean and efficient conversion. Although solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology is a potential alternative for large-scale applications, its commercialization limited electrolyte materials has not yet been realized. Progress on new functional semiconductor-ionic (SIMs) fundamentals of SOFCs will provide paths...

In this paper, an energy system consisting of solar collector, biogas dry reforming reactor and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has been proposed. The heat produced from the concentrating collector is used to drive a in order produce H2 as for SOFC, such system. aim study clarify impact climate data on performance with various sizes/designs. temperature transfer fluid by calculated adopting Nagoya...
