Spring 2010
Novel anode catalysts have been developed for sour natural gas solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) applications. Sour natural gas comprises light hydrocarbons, and typically also contains H2S. An alternative fuel SOFC that operates directly on sour natural gas would reduce the overall cost of plant...

Spring 2012
Experiments were conducted to test and characterize proton conducting electrolyte materials and layers formed by solid state reactions. Screen printed layers of yttrium doped ceria and alkaline earth carbonates were reacted at high temperatures on NiO-YSZ and NiO-CGO substrates with the intent...

Studying the Microstructure of Electrodes for Low-temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell and Electrolysis Applications
DownloadFall 2022
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is an important developing technology for energy conversion. This research was mainly focused on improving the fuel or air electrode of SOFCs in order to reduce the degradation rates and operation temperature. In chapters 3 and 4, a highly conductive...
