The success of distributed power generation by plants based on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is hindered by reliability problems that can be mitigated through an effective fault detection and isolation (FDI) system. However, the numerous operating conditions under which such plants can operate and the random size of the possible faults make identifying damaged plant components starting from th...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have the potential to revolutionise the present fuel economy due to their higher fuel conversion efficiency compared with standard heat engines and the possibility of utilizing the heat produced in a combined heat and power system. One of the reasons they have yet to fulfil this potential is that the conventional anode material of choice, a nickel/yttria-stabilise...

A pure phase BaCo0.5Fe0.5O3–δ (BCF), which cannot be obtained before, is successfully prepared in this study by using the calcination method with a rapid cooling procedure. The successful preparation of BCF allows evaluation material as cathode for proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (H-SOFCs) first time. An H-SOFC achieves an encouraging cell perfor...

Formation of a heterostructure semiconductor materials is promising method to develop an electrolyte with high ionic conductivity at low operational temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs). Herein, we various composites by introducing pure conductor Sm0.2Ce0.8O2-? (SDC) into LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (LNCA) for LT-SOFCs electrolyte. The morphology, crystal structure, elemental distribution, m...

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is performed to obtain less than 1 nm thick yttria-doped ceria (YDC) layers as cathode functional increase the surface oxygen incorporation rate for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs). Introducing a YDC modification (SML) has revealed that optimized yttria concentration in can catalyze exchange kinetics at interface between electrolyte and cathode. T...
