University of Utah engineering researchers develop a steam-powered fix for ‘sulfur poisoning’ in fuel cells, devices that both generate and store electricity. The team’s rhodium-infused anodes could ...

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 ...

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 ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is kicking off September with a couple of significant funding announcements. The department announced September 6 the selection of 16 projects to receive a combined ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
