Abstract: This paper describes the steps involved in the design, construction, and testing of a gasifier-specific solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system. The design choices are based on reported thermodynamic simulation results for the entire gasifier- gas cleanup-SOFC system. The constructed SOFC system is tested and the measured parameters are compared with those given by a system simulation. Furthermore, a detailed exergy analysis is performed to determine the components responsible for poor efficiency. It is concluded that the SOFC system demonstrates reasonable agreement with the simulated results. Furthermore, based on the exergy results, the components causing major irreversible performance losses are identified.

Abstract: Mathematical modeling tools are useful for predicting the safe operation limits and efficiencies of SOFCs. For a particular SOFC design, variations in internal methane reforming kinetic parameters is expected to affect local gas compositions, local Nernst voltages, current densities and temperature profiles and in turn the safe operation limits and efficiency. However, it is observed that methane reforming kinetic data widely used in SOFC CFD models are often determined from measurements on nickel catalysts taken under experimental conditions not close enough to SOFC operation conditions causing significant inaccuracies in model calculation results. For this reason, kinetic properties of the methane steam reforming reaction in complete fuel cells with Ni–GDC (Gd 0.1 Ce 0.9 O 2 ) anodes were experimentally evaluated. SOFCs with different anodes made of different materials may perform differently due to the different reforming kinetics and the different thermal properties.

Abstract: Well-aligned ZnO@Co hybrid nanotube arrays on conductive glass substrates have been obtained by an electrochemical deposition approach. Vertical-aligned ZnO nanotubes with sizes between 300 and 600 nm in diameter and wall thickness of approximately 100 nm have been prepared by selective dissolution from the nanorods. The ZnO@Co heterostructures can be prepared by optimizing the deposition time and controlling the stability of Co2+ ions. Compared to the nanorod arrays, both nanotube arrays and the ZnO@Co heterostructures show enhanced photoluminescent properties. In addition, ZnO and ZnO@Co nanotubes show improved photocatalytic properties compared with the bare ZnO nanorod array, and the hybrid nanotubes exhibit better adsorptive properties than the bare ZnO nanotubes. Furthermore, the ZnO@Co hybrid nanotube arrays show ferromagnetism at room temperature.

Abstract: An overview of the research activities and on-going multiple projects at Delft University of Technology aimed at the development of Gasifier–Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) based power plants are presented. Biosyngas generated in gasifiers consists of a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), hydrogen (H 2 ), nitrogen (N 2 ), water vapor (H 2 O), and minor impurities. Biosyngas can be a good fuel for SOFCs provided that the gas is sufficiently cleaned. Influence of biosyngas compositions and biomass-derived contaminants on SOFCs is presented and the removal of potential contaminants such as tar, particulates, H 2 S, HCl, and alkali compounds from biosyngas is discussed. It appears that the gasification product gas can be cleaned to meet the requirements of SOFCs using currently known gas cleaning methods. Additionally, a brief discussion on the achievable system efficiencies with gasifier–SOFC systems is presented. Innovative applications of the gasifier-SOFC systems being developed at Delft, such as advanced gasifier–SOFC systems for toilet development, are also presented.
