Abstract:Anodes composed of Ni-YSZ (yttria-stabilised zirconia) cermets are the key material to allow direct biofuel feeding to Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) devices due to its internal reforming capability. The main challenge among these materials is related to carbon deposition poisoning effect when C-bearing fuels are feed. The work deals with these issues by alloying Ni with some metals like Cu to conform a multi-metallic anode material. Mechanical alloying (MA) at shaker mills is chosen as the route to incorporate … Show more
“…Direct bio-fuel solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can play a key role in reducing greenhouse gases, reducing U.S. dependence on imported oil and moving us toward future energy independence [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Direct bio-fuel SOFCs can directly convert the chemical energy of bio-derived fuels into electrical energy as shown in Figure 1(A) [1,2].…”

“…Direct bio-fuel SOFCs can directly convert the chemical energy of bio-derived fuels into electrical energy as shown in Figure 1(A) [1,2]. In order to efficiently operate them, it is critical to develop a high-performance anode that can directly process bio-fuels [1][2][3][4]. Metal oxides with mixed conductivities, which transport both ions and electrons in a single phase, can be used as anodes for this application [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…Thus, the bio-fuel oxidation activity and selectivity are strongly influenced by the molecular structure of bio-fuels. A SOFC is an all-ceramic device that typically operates in the range 700-1000 ᴼC [1][2][3][4]. Unlike low temperature polymer electrolyte membrane-(PEM) fuel cells, SOFCs hold particular promise for their ability to use CO as a fuel rather than being poisoned by it [48][49][50][51].…”
