  2. 1. The anode and the electrolyte in the MCFC

    Author : Andreas Bodén; Göran Lindbergh; Carina Lagergren; Takao Watanabe; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; composite electrolytes; electrode kinetics; nickel solubility; porous electrode; reformate; water-gas shift reaction; electrolyte; electrolyte distribution; hydrogen oxidation reaction; ion segregation; mass transport; mathematical modelling; MCFC; molten carbonate fuel cell; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : A goal of the Swedish government is to increase the usage of renewable fuels and biomass-based fuels. Fuel cells, and especially the MCFC, are useful for these types of fuels. The Swedish market may benefit from the MCFC in two ways: increased efficiency of the biofuels and also utilisation of produced heat in district heating. READ MORE

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical engineering; molten carbonate fuel cell; MCFC; mechanism; cell modelling; porous electrode; Kemiteknik; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : The thesis is focussed on the performance of the fuel cell and the design of the cell for operation with natural gas and renewable fuels, e.g. biogas or gasified biomass. The performance is one of the important issues for the development and commercialisation of fuel cell stacks. READ MORE

  6. 4. System studies of MCFC power plants

    Author : Benny Fillman; Pehr Björnbom; Professor Mats Westermark; Gábor Merényi; KTH; []

    Abstract : Die Brennstoffzelle ist ein elektrochemischer Reaktor und wandelt chemisch gebundene Energie direkt in elektrische Energie um. In der stationären Energieerzeugung ist der Brennstoffzellenstapel selbst nur ein kleiner Bestandteil des vollständigen Systems. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development and Characterisation of Cathode Materials for the Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell

    Author : Athula Wijayasinghe; KTH; []
    Keywords : molten carbonate fuel cell MCFC ; MCFC cathode; LiFeO2-LiCoO2-NiO ternary compositions; electrical conductivity; porous gas diffusion electrodes; polarization; electrochemical performance; post-cell characterization;

    Abstract : Among the obstacles for the commercialization of the MoltenCarbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC), the dissolution of thestate-of-the-art lithiated NiO cathode is considered as aprimary lifetime limiting constraint. Development ofalternative cathode materials is considered as a main strategyfor solving the cathode dissolution problem. READ MORE
