IntroductionSolid Oxide Fuel Cells
What Are Solid Oxide Fuel Cells ?
2nd most developed fuel cell technology
Application towards power for utilities
What are Solid Oxide Fuel Cells made of?
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Ceramic Plates Packed in multilayer
disks One cell consists of…. …Anode …Cathode …Electrolyte Two types… Anode/Electrolyte
Supported
Fuel Type are Hydro Carbons (Ex Methane gas)Operates at very high Temp. from 800 to over 1000 (oC)Hydro Carbons oxidized at anode Oxygen is reduced at cathode creates ionic current through electrolyte.
Example of use in power plantExhaust is C02 and H20
Type Operating Temp. (Degrees Celsius)
Solid Oxide 500-1000
Polymer Electrolyte 50-100
Molten Carbonate Alkaline 600
Shows the different operating temp. of common fuel cellsEfficiency Vs Power graph Has Efficiencies as high as 70%
