An all porous solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC): a bridging technology between dual and single chamber SOFCs

International audienceA novel concept that employs dual chamber SOFC technology with a porous electrolyte, which allows the controlled distribution of gaseous O2 at the anode side, was successfully designed using an all porous structure. The oxidative reforming of hydrocarbon streams can consequently operate in a similar fashion to single chamber SOFCs, but within a safer, better controlled proces
