DIRECT CARBON FUEL CELLS BASED ON SOLID OXIDE ELECTROLYTE TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Direct carbon fuel cells (DCFC), developed intensively in the last decade, offer electric current generation with potentially much higher efficiency than currently achieved in coal-fired power plants. The existing planar solid oxide fuel cell technology is one of several possible fuel cell technology platforms enabling implementation of DCFC, fuelled with pulverised coal. The thermodynamic and electrochemical principles of DC-SOFC technology are summarised in the paper. The current technology development status is reviewed and future potential of technology is discussed. Key research problems influencing the development of the technology in future were stated.
