solid oxide fuel cells


British researchers working on Zebra battery-fuel cell series hybrid

A research team at Imperial College London is working on a new series hybrid drivetrain based on the ZEBRA sodium nickel-chloride battery and a solid oxide fuel cell. While pretty much all of the fuel cell-powered vehicles currently being developed use proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells that run on hydrogen gas, this system uses a solid oxide stack that runs at higher temperatures. The heat generated by the stack could be used to power a fuel reformer that could use alternative fuels to generate hydrogen on the fly. Unfortunately that ... Read more →

High-temperature fuel cells just a few degrees away

Large solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) like the one in the photo to the right (see yesterday's related story here) isn't going to be fitting into any cars any time soon, but the technology behind it ...

High-temperature fuel cells just a few degrees away 3 years ago on Autoblog Green

Large solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) like the one in the photo to the right (see yesterday's related story here) isn't going to be fitting into any cars any time soon, but the technology behind it might. Researchers at Tufts University have found a way to continuously remove the sulfur that builds up ...
