Oxidation of porous stainless steel supports for metal-supported solid oxide electrolysis cells

Fengyu Shen et al.

Summary: The oxidation behavior of porous P434L ferritic stainless steel used in metalsupported solid oxide electrolysis cells (MS-SOEC) was investigated under oxygen-side and steam-side conditions. The impact of oxygen content on the oxygen side and steam:hydrogen ratio on the steam side was determined at 700 degrees C. The results showed that oxidation is more aggressive in the steam-side atmosphere. Pre-oxidation, catalyst coatings, and CuMn1.8O4 coatings were found to mitigate the rapid oxidation and breakaway oxidation observed in bare stainless steel, although the addition of coatings moderately increased the oxidation rate.

Investigation of the sudden drop of electrolyte conductivity at low temperature in ceramic fuel cell with Ni0.8Co0.15Al0.05LiO2 electrode

Rui Zhang et al.

Summary: The sudden drop in ionic conductivity of GDC electrolyte at low temperatures in ceramic fuel cells with NCAL as electrode was attributed to the solidification of LiOH/Li2CO3 and other compounds from the NCAL anode below 419 degrees C, leading to a significant decrease in peak power density. This change was found to be the direct result of the rapid decrease in ionic conductivity caused by the solidification of LiOH/Li2CO3 and other substances at lower temperatures.
