.... Editor: Kevin Huang. 14 03 2017 22 06 2017 solid oxide fuel cell stack performance Energy is essential to human's life, and nowadays most countries in the world still rely on using fossil fuels as basic energy sources. The use of fossil fuels including crude oil, coal...

...Jinfu Ma; Yongning Liu The use of noble catalysts and ion exchange membranes make the design of a direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC) stack complicate and limit its application. Therefore, the development of simple, cost effective construction for DBFC stacks is necessary. In this paper, a passive...

...Sébastien Wasterlain; Fabien Harel; Denis Candusso; Daniel Hissel; Xavier François This paper presents a novel architecture of an impedance spectrometer dedicated to the characterization and diagnostics of large fuel cell stacks operated in galvanostatic mode. The validation tests are first...

... systems for residential power generation. Before constructing a complete 1 kW e SOFC system, a series of durability experiments were conducted on individual components of the system including the fuel reformer and stack. After testing the full-scale 1 kW e diesel reformer, deposit formation was visible...

...Sang-Kyun Park; Song-Yul Choe Performance of individual cells in an operating polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack is different from each other because of inherent manufacturing tolerances of the cell components and unequal operating conditions for the individual cells. In this paper...

...M. Shakeri; J. Imen; M. R. Rostami The development of a direct methanol fuel cell requires a fully automatic test station for understanding its characteristic and behavior. A unique design of test station for operation of a cell or stack among 0.5 W and 1.5 kW has been designed and fabricated...

...N. Rajalakshmi; G. Velayutham; K. S. Dhathathreyan This paper describes the application of statistical analysis to a 2.5 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack operation, by experimental design methodology, whereby robust design conditions were identified for the operation of fuel cell stacks...

...Zhenwei Wang; Satoshi Shimizu; Yohtaro Yamazaki An interconnection and sealing method used for stacking the electrolyte-supported honeycomb solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is presented. The honeycombs were made of 3 mol % yttria partially stabilized zirconia and 8 mol % yttria stabilized zirconia...
