Approach

A new ceramic based cell will be produced by integrating a new, very promising class of materials, namely strontium titanates, into existing, proven SOFC cell designs. Three candidate materials have been defined based on the partners experience.

Cost effective and up-scalable processes will be developed for the fabrication of supports and cells. In an iterative process the cell performance at defined tolerance levels will subsequently be improved by adjustments of the fabrication on full cell level according to identified failure mechanisms. Cells with matching performance but improved sulphur, coking, and re-oxidation tolerance compared to state-of-the-art Ni-cermet materials will finally be demonstrated in a real system environment.
