This SOFC core technology development program will develop an integrated fiber optical sensor technology to perform real-time and high-resolution measurements in both planar and tubular fuel cells and fuel cell assembly to monitor operations and structural changes of SOFCs. The new fiber sensing solution can monitor hundreds of points in the 3D fuel cell structures with 5-mm spatial resolutions using one single optical fiber.
