Study on Fabrication and Performance of Metal-Supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cells [Hardcover]

This book highlights?the development of novel metal-supported?solid oxide fuel cells (MS-SOFCs). It describes the metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells (MS-SOFCs) that consist of a microporous stainless steel support, nanoporous electrode composites and a thin ceramic electrolyte using the tape casting-sintering-infiltrating method. Further, it investigates the reaction kinetics of the fuel cells electrodes, structureperformance relationship and degradation mechanism. By optimizing the electrode materials, preparation process for the fuel cells, and nano-micro structure of the electrode, the resulting MS-SOFCs demonstrated (1)?great output power densities at low temperatures, e.g., 1.02 W cm^-2 at 600?C, when operating in humidified hydrogen fuels and air oxidants; (2) excellent long-term stability, e.g., a degradation rate of 1.3% kh^-1 when measured at 650?C and 0.9 A cm^-2 for 1500 h. The design presented offers a promising pathway for the development of low-cost, high power-density and long-term-stable SOFCs for energy conversion.
