Solid oxide fuel cell anode degradation by the effect of hydrogen chloride in stack and single cell environments

Christian Ludwig, Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Hossein Madi

The poisoning effect by hydrogen chloride (HCl) on state-of-the-art Ni anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) at 750 degrees C is evaluated in either hydrogen or syngas fuel. Experiments are performed on single cells and short stacks and HCl concen ...

Impact of Materials and Design on Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stack Operation

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Zacharie Wuillemin, Arata Nakajo, Nordahl Autissier

Planar SOFC stack technology based on a unique concept (SOFConnex™) uses structured gas distribution layers between unprofiled metal sheet interconnects and thin Ni-YSZ anode supported electrolyte cells. The layers are flexible both in material and designa ...

Cyclic degradation analysis of reversible Solid Oxide Cell short-stack

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Philippe Aubin, Maria del Mar Perez Fortes, Guillaume Jeanmonod, Suhas Nuggehalli Sampathkumar, David Constantin

The deployment of renewable energy systems has been increasing steadily in recent years. The intermittency associated with the renewable electricity supply can be addressed through the usage of energy storage and release systems. In this framework, reversi ...

Advancing non-carbon energy: optimized and safely operated solid oxide fuel cell design for industrial feasibility

François Maréchal, Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Shivom Sharma, Xinyi Wei, Arthur Waeber

As the world shift towards sustainable energy solutions, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) using non-carbon fuels like ammonia and hydrogen emerge as promising pathways to produce clean energy and enhance conversion efficiency. However, current implementation ...

Design of experiment approach applied to reducing and oxidizing tolerance of anode supported solid oxide fuel cell. Part II: Electrical, electrochemical and microstructural characterization of tape-cast cells

Jan Van Herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Marco Cantoni, Zacharie Wuillemin, Stefan Diethelm, Antonin Faes, Pietro Tanasini, Henning Lübbe

One of the major limitations of the nickel (Ni) - yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) anode support for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) is its low capability to withstand transients between reducing and oxidizing atmospheres ("RedOx" cycle), owing to the Ni-to- ...

Local electrochemical and thermal investigation of a segmented reversible solid oxide fuel cell and electrolyzer

Audrey Désirée Wesoly, Jan Van Herle, Zacharie Wuillemin, Stefan Diethelm, Hamza Moussaoui

A novel setup has been designed and mounted to investigate the local electrochemical and thermal behavior of a cell from a 4-cell short stack under reversible operation solid oxide fuel cell/solid oxide electrolyzer (SOFC/SOE). It consists in the partition ...

Experimental characterization of a solid oxide fuel cell coupled to a steam-driven micro anode off-gas recirculation fan

Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Stefan Diethelm, Zacharie Wuillemin, Patrick Hubert Wagner, David Constantin

While the global fuel utilization of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is limited by the stack aging rate, the fuel excess is typically used in a burner, and thus limiting the system electrical efficiency. Further, natural-gas-fueled SOFCs require treated wat ...

A case study of the effect of grain size on the oxygen permeation flux of BSCF disk-shaped membrane fabricated by thermoplastic processing

Stefan Diethelm

Oxygen permeability measurements of Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3−δ (BSCF) disk shaped membranes fabricated by thermoplastic processing and sintered at different temperatures (1000–1100 °C), showed no influence of the grain size on the oxygen permeation fluxes. T ...

Active Near-Infrared Imaging for Spatio-Temporal Monitoring of a Solid Oxide Cell in Operation

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Guillaume Jeanmonod

The characterization of solid oxide cells (SOCs) relies mainly on direct-current (DC) and alternating-current (AC) methods that provide only average surface electro-chemical responses. As such, the spatial distribution is not well captured and the complexi ...

PROGRESS IN STACK POWER DENSITY USING THE SOFCONNEX™ CONCEPT

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Zacharie Wuillemin, Nordahl Autissier, Diego Larrain, Raphaël Ihringer

Our SOFC stack development technology is based on the unique SOFConnexTM concept, using flexible gas distribution layers between metal sheet interconnect and thin ASE cells. Flexibility is given both in material and design. This ensures proper electrical c ...
