Effects of anode and current collector materials on the power density of solid oxide electrolyte direct carbon fuel cell

고체산화물 전해질 직접탄소 연료전지의 전극 및 집전부 재질이 출력밀도에 미치는 영향

Direct Carbon Fuel Cells (DCFCs) generates electricity directly converting the chemical energy in coal. In the present study, effects of anode and current collector materials on the power density of DCFC are investigated experimentally. The adopted DCFC system is combined type of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC) with the use of a liquid-molten salt anode and a solid oxide electrolyte, proposed by SRI. Power densities of 25 mm button cells with various combination of anode materials and current collector materials are measured.
