In this paper, material requirements for SOFC and PEMFC stacks, together with an introductory section on materials technology for reformers, are discussed, and it is concluded that the introduction of alternative materials/processes that would enable SOFC stacks to operate at 150-200°C, and IT-SOFC stacks at 500-700°C would have a major impact on the successful commercialization of fuel cell technology.Abstract:
▪ Abstract After a brief survey of fuel cell types, attention is focused on material requirements for SOFC and PEMFC stacks, with an introductory section on materials technology for reformers. Materials cost and processing, together with durability issues, are emphasized as these now dominate materials selection processes for prototype stack units. In addition to optimizing the cell components, increasing attention is being given to the composition and processing of the bipolar plate component as the weight and volume of the relevant material has a major influence on the overall power density and cost of the fuel cell stack. It is concluded that the introduction of alternative materials/processes that would enable PEMFC stacks to operate at 150–200°C, and IT-SOFC stacks to operate at 500–700°C, would have a major impact on the successful commercialization of fuel cell technology.read more

A high-performance cathode for the next generation of solid-oxide fuel cells
Zongping Shao,Sossina M. Haile +1 more
TL;DR: BSCF is presented as a new cathode material for reduced-temperature SOFC operation and demonstrated that BSCF is ideally suited to ‘single-chamber’ fuel-cell operation, where anode and cathode reactions take place within the same physical chamber.

A review of PEM hydrogen fuel cell contamination: Impacts, mechanisms, and mitigation
Xuan Cheng,Xuan Cheng,Zheng Shi,Nancy Glass,Lu Zhang,Jiujun Zhang,Datong Song,Zhong-Sheng Liu,Haijiang Wang,Jun Shen +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed over 150 articles on the subject of the effect of contamination on PEM fuel cell and found that even trace amounts of impurities present in either fuel or air streams or fuel cell system components could severely poison the anode, membrane, and cathode, particularly at low-temperature operation.
