Power Generation Characteristics of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell with Internal Steam Reforming of Methane

Abstract

The V-l and polarization characteristics were measured for the solid oxide fuel cell with intemal re-foing ofmethaneAkhough the metallic surface area ofNi was low for the Ni-YSZ ceet prepared by reduction ofNiO-YSZthe actMty forsteamrefomingreaction washighto attainequilibrium conversion at lOOOC The high operation temperature not only reduced the polarization reslstance but also attained the high conversion ofmethane and selectivity to COThe changes in selectivitles to CO
