A Low-Operating-Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell in Hydrocarbon-Air Mixtures

Abstract: The performance of a single-chamber solid oxide fuel cell was studied using a ceria-based solid electrolyte at temperatures below 773 kelvin. Electromotive forces of approximately 900 millivolts were generated from the cell in a flowing mixture of ethane or propane and air, where the solid electrolyte functioned as a purely ionic conductor. The electrode-reaction resistance was negligibly small in the total internal resistances of the cell. The resulting peak power density reached 403 and 101 milliwatts per sq… Show more

“…Por otro lado, el largo tiempo requerido para iniciar su operación y de enfriamiento, así como diversos problemas de compatibilidad química y mecánica de sus componentes, limita el uso de este tipo de celdas. Varios inv estigadores 38,42,43,44,50,51,52 han estudiado las posibles soluciones para reducir la temperatura de operación, lo cual pudiera ser la clave para que las celdas de combustible de óxido sólido, sean la nueva generación de dispositivos en la producción de energía eléctrica a gran escala. En este contexto, existen otros materiales alternativos al electrolito YSZ, tales como el GDC (cerio dopado con gadolinio) y el LSGM (galato de lantano dopado con estroncio y magnesio), los cuales se han convertido en los últimos años en serias alternativas, debido a que presentan unas conductividades iónicas similares a la del YSZ a temperaturas más bajas de aproximadamente 200°C.…”

“…Oxide ion electrolytes based on rare-earth-doped CeO2 At present, rare earth Gd-or Sm-doped CeO 2 solid electrolytes are considered to be potential electrolytes for IT-SOFC applications because of their higher oxide ion conductivities compared to both Y-doped ZrO 2 (YSZ) and Sr-and Mg-doped LaGaO 3 (LSGM) in air [54][55][56] (Fig. 2) [13].…”
