Development of low temperature solid oxide fuel cells

• Based on innovative ceria-based composite (CBC) material advantages we have made strong efforts to make technical developments on scaling up material production, fabrication technologies on large cells and stack operated at low temperatures (300 to 600°C). Next generation materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have been developed based on abundant natural resources of the industrial grade mixed rare-earth carbonates named as LCP. Here we show the LCP-based materials used as functional electrolytes to achieve excellent fuel cell performances, 300-800 mWcm2 for low temperatures, exhibiting a great availability for industrialization and commercialization.
