Abstract: | Cation-doped CeO2 electrolyte has been evaluated in single-cell and short-stack tests in solid oxide fuel cell environments and applications. These results, along with conductivity measurements, indicate that an ionic transference number of ∼0.75 can be expected at 800°C. Single cells have shown a power density >350 mW/cm2. Multicell stacks have demonstrated a peak performance of >100 mW/cm2 at 700°C using metallic separators. |
