What is a high-temperature fuel cell?
High-temperature fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy of fuel directly into electrical energy and heat energy when fuel and oxidant are supplied. It consists of electrolyte, anode and cathode. The anode and cathode are electronic conductors, and the electrolyte only conducts ionic species.
What are the advantages of high-temperature fuel cells?
High-temperature fuel cells offer several advantages over conventional power generation technologies, such as high electrical efficiency, high heat source temperature, high power density, simpler balance-of-plant (BoP), low particulate and gas emissions, low noise and stable power output (no spikes or electrical noise) .
Can a high-temperature fuel cell capture CO2?
The configuration of such kind of system could facilitate an easy capture of CO 2. Several novel CO 2 capture strategies have been developed based on high-temperature fuel cells, such as solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) and direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC).
What is a high-temperature PEM fuel cell?
