In this study, a novel microwave-matrix reformer was proposed to convert CH₄, which is a major component, to a high quality hydrogen energy. And to identify this performance, it was investigated for O₂/C ratio, steam feed amount and reformed gas recirculation which are affected for methane conversion and product gas yield. Through the parametric screening studies, optimal operating conditions were that O₂/C ratio, steam feed amount and recirculation rate were 1.1, 10 mL/min and 30 L/min. In this conditions, CH₄ conversion was 68.1%, H₂ selectivity 77.2 and H₂/CO ratio 2.62 which are possible applying SOFC stack for RPG (residential power generator).

Using ammonia as fuel for solid oxide fuel (SOFC) cells has become an attractive topic nowadays due to its high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and ease of storage and transportation. Several configurations of ammonia-fed SOFC systems have been proposed and investigated, demonstrating high electrical efficiency. However, to further enhance efficiency, it is crucial to understand the inefficient components of the system. The exergy concept is well-suited for this purpose, making exergetic analysis essential for ammonia-fed SOFC systems. This study conducts an exergetic analysis for three selected systems: a simple fuel cell system (FC), an anode off-gas recirculation system (RC-FC), and a recirculation system with water removal (RC-WR-FC). The results reveal that the exergetic efficiencies of the FC, RC-FC, and RC-WR-FC are 48.7%, 51.6%, and 58.4%, respectively. In all three systems, the SOFC stack is the main source of exergy destruction. However, other components with relatively low exergetic efficiency, such as the burner, air heat exchanger, and cooler/condenser, offer greater opportunities for improvement.

In this paper, the dynamic models of a SOFC are rearranged. It consists of electrochemical model, thermal model, voltage equation and several loss equations. Experiment results of the real SOFC system are shown to evaluate the steady voltage characteristics. Control problems on tracking steady voltage by air flow is discussed and an adaptive controller is designed to withstand to the variation of stack current. Simulation is done to prove the solution of control algorithms.

An SOFC consists of all ceramic complex oxides each with different electrochemical-property requirements. These requirements, in principle, can be made met to a great extent by controlling or tailoring the defect structure of the oxide. This paper reviews the defect structure, nonstoichiometry as a measure of the total defect concentration, and the defect relaxation kinetics of complex oxides that are currently involved in a variety of growing applications today.

가동온도가 $800^{\circ}C$ 이하인 평판형 SOFC에서는 기존의 세라믹 분리판 대신에 금속 분리판이 적용될 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 금속 분리판은 가공성 및 경제성 등이 세라믹 분리판 보다 우수하여 SOFC의 실용화를 앞당기는데 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다. 그러나 금속 분리판의 적용을 위하여서는 아직 해결되어야만 할 문제점들이 남아 있는데, 표면 산화층의 형성에 따른 접촉 저항의 증가와 합금 성분 중의 Cr의 증발에 의한 전극 열화의 문제 등이 대표적인 그것이다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 SOFC용 분리판의 요구특성에 적합한 신합금의 개발과 고기능 표면 코팅 기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다.
