To optimize the performance of fuel cells, a golden ratio must be found. Recently, a Korean research team has uncovered that the performance of fuel cells varies depending on the Co-doping level.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which oxidize a fuel to produce electricity, have received much attention of late for the technology’s myriad benefits, including high efficiency, long-term stability, ...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have high energy conversion efficiencies and entail low manufacturing costs. In fact, SOFCs can work on both standard and hydrogen fuel, in contrast to other fuel cell ...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have the potential to lessen our reliance on coal and oil for energy. They are clean, quiet, and efficient. The most important part of these cells are the unique ...

SOFCs make electricity from fuel and oxidant gases in an electrochemical process that takes place across an ion-conducting, ceramic membrane. Reformed fuel (reformate) feeds to an anode, and air, to a ...

RICHLAND, Wash. -- Individual homes and entire neighborhoods could be powered with a new, small-scale solid oxide fuel cell system that achieves up to 57 percent efficiency, significantly higher than ...

Fuel cells convert the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction of positively charged hydrogen ions with oxygen or another oxidizing agent. They differ from batteries ...

Engineers have developed low cost, high efficiency hydrocarbon fuel cells. The commercialization of the 'natural gas fuel cell' has finally come to the fore, thanks to the recent development of ...

A new, small-scale solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system developed at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (DoE PNNL) could be used for household and neighborhood power ...
