An experimental design of the solid oxide fuel cell performance by using partially oxidation reforming of natural gas

Catalytic Steam Reforming of Natural Gas over a New Ni Exsolved Ruddlesden‐Popper Manganite in SOFC Anode Conditions

“…[3] There are four different ways to consider the hydrogen (H 2 ) production from hydrocarbon fuels and avoid carbon deposition: dry reforming (with CO 2 ), steam reforming (with H 2 O), partial oxidation (with O 2 ) and autothermal reforming (with steam and O 2 ). [7][8][9][10][11][12] Each process is achieved under different operating conditions and any or all of them could be selected to study the behavior of a specific anode material in a catalytic way. However, according to the literature, water vapor has been considered as a particularly relevant component to be mixed to methane; steam to carbon ratios (S/C) higher than 1.0 are generally necessary to avoid the coke formation on the anode surface, making steam reforming one of the most important reaction taking place at the anode surface.…”

“…Nevertheless, the direct internal reforming at SOFC anode using natural gas (or pure methane as main component) is still facing a main issue: carbon deposition due to parasitic reactions such as methane cracking . There are four different ways to consider the hydrogen (H 2 ) production from hydrocarbon fuels and avoid carbon deposition: dry reforming (with CO 2 ), steam reforming (with H 2 O), partial oxidation (with O 2 ) and autothermal reforming (with steam and O 2 ) .
