Abstract:The direct utilisation of primary fuels such as natural gas, green methane or ethanol represents a transition step towards a cleaner energy-based society. This work shows the influence of a nickel-free intermediate anode layer, and a ceria-based functional anode composite, on solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) performance when directly utilising dry methane without fuel pre-reforming. A CeO 2-Co 3 O 4-CuO electrocatalyst was investigated by X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence to confirm the presence of CeO 2 , … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
