Proton conducting oxides based on the $BaCe_{0.9}M_{0.1}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (M = La, AL) were tested for the alternative electrolyte materials of fuel cell. The power density for single cell of Air |Pt| $BaCe_{0.9}M_{0.1}O_{3-{\delta}}$ |Pt| $H_2(3%H_2O)$ system was maximum $0.04W/cm^2$ at $1000^{\circ}C$. In this system, proton transport number was proved to depend on the lattice parameters and the distortion of $CeO_6$ octahedral as a function of the ionic radii of acceptor ions. This proton conducting oxide system requires developing the new electrode materials for application.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising eco-friendly energy conversion system due to their high efficiency, low pollutant emission and fuel flexibility. High operating temperatures, however, leads to the crucial drawbacks such as incompatibility between the components and high thermal stress. Proton-conducting ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) with proton-conducting oxide (PCO) materials are new types of fuel cells that can solve the problems of conventional SOFCs. Many studies have been proceeded to improve the performance of electrolytes and electrodes, and triple conductive oxides (TCOs) have attracted significant attention as high performance PCFC electrodes.

This paper presents an evaluation of the effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) with sulfonation degree of 57%. A series of inorganic-organic hybrid membranes were prepared with a systematic variation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles content. Their water uptake, methanol permeability and proton conductivity as a function of temperature were investigated. The results obtained show that the inorganic oxide network decreases the proton conductivity and water swelling. It is also found that increase in inorganic oxide content leads to decrease of methanol permeability. In terms of morphology, membranes are homogeneous and exhibit a good adhesion between inorganic domains and the polymer matrix. The properties of the composite membranes are compared with standard nafion membrane.

(3-Mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane(MPTS)의 thoil기(-SH)의 적절한 산화 및 (3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethooxysilane(GHS)와의 수화/중축합 반응을 통하여 얻어진 고분자 기질을 사용하여 새로운 고 프로톤 전도성 유기-무기 나노복합막을 성공적으로 합성하였다. 합성된 나노복합막으로부터 얻어진 프로톤 전도도는 $25^{circ}C$에서 $10^{-2} S/cm$ 이상의 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 온도와 상대습도를 $70^{circ}C$와 $100RH\%$로 증가시킴에 따라 전도도는 $3.6{\times}10^{-1}$ S/cm까지 증가하였다. 복합체의 높은 프로톤 전도도는 MPTS 말단의 thiol의 산화에 의해 얻어지는 아황산기$(-SO_{3}^{-})$가 프로톤 donor로서 작용하고, GHS로부터 유도된 'pseudo polyethylene oxide' 네트워크가 프로톤의 전도 path로 작용하고 있음을 나타낸다.

An electrochromic(EC) cell was constructed using $WO_3$ as a electrochromic material and NiO as a counter electrode, deposited onto ITO-coated glass by the implementation of electron beam evaporation. The electrolytic media were both lithium and proton conducting polymers such as poly-acrylonitrile(PAN)-$LiClO_4$, poly-ethylene oxide(PEO)-$LiClO_4$, poly-vinyl butyral(PVB)-LiCl and PVB-H$_3$$PO_4$. Potentiodynamic cycling of the cells using PAN-$LiClO_4$, or PVB-$H_3$$PO_4$ electrolyte yielded a transmission variation of more than 40% at the wavelength of 632.8 nm within less than 10 sec response time at room temperature. These results indicate that these electrolytes, transparent in gel type, are premising for the application in large area electrochromic windows.

The multi-films of a metallic film and a transparent conducting oxide (TCO, indium-tin oxide, ITO) film were formed on the stainless steel 316 and 304 plates by a sputtering method and an E-beam method and then the external metallic region of the stainless steel bipolar plates was converted into the metal nitride films through an annealing process. The multi-film formed on the stainless steel bipolar plates showed the XRD patterns of the typical indium-tin oxide, the metallic phase and the metal substrate and the external nitride film. The XRD pattern of the thin film on the bipolar plates modified showed two metal nitride phases of CrN and $Cr_2N$ compound. Surface microstructural morphology of the multi-film deposited bipolar plates was observed by AFM and FE-SEM. The metal nitride film formed on the stainless steel bipolar plates represented a microstructural morphology of fine columnar grains with 10 nm diameter and 60nm length in FE-SEM images. The electrical resistivity of the stainless steel bipolar plates modified was evaluated.

The electrochemically active site of mixed ionic and electronic conductor (MIEC) as a cathode material is restricted to the triple phase boundary in protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) due to the insufficient of proton-conducting properties of MIEC. This study primarily focused on expanding the electrochemically active site by La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3-δ(LSCF6428)-BaZr_0.4Ce_0.4Y_0.1Yb_0.1O_3-δ (BZCYYb4411) composite cathode. The electrochemical properties of the composite cathode were evaluated using anode-supported PCFC single cells. In comparison to the LSCF6428 cathode, the peak power density of the LSCF6428-BZCYYb4411 composite cathode is much enhanced by the reduction in both ohmic and non-ohmic resistance, possibly due to the increased electrochemically active site.

This paper provides an overview of the trends and future directions in the development of anode materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) using hydrocarbons as fuel, with the aim of enabling a decentralized energy supply. Hydrocarbons (such as natural gas and biogas) offer promising alternatives to traditional energy sources, as their use in SOFCs can help meet the growing demands for energy. We cover several types of materials, including perovskite structures, high-entropy alloys, proton-conducting ceramic materials, anode on-cell catalyst reforming layers, and anode functional layers. In addition, we review the performance and long-term stability of cells based on these anode materials and assess their potential for commercial manufacturing processes. Finally, we present a model for enhancing the applicability of fuel cell-based power generation systems to assist in the realization of the H₂ economy as the best practice for enabling distributed energy. Overall, this study highlights the potential of SOFCs to make significant progress toward a sustainable and efficient energy future.
