Recent work on the MSOFC (Monolithic Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) has resulted in the following accomplishments: (1) the feasibility of the MSOFC concept has been proven, (2) the fabrication processes have advanced to the point of production of near defect-free fuel cell stacks, (3) the electrode characteristics have been significantly improved to enhance MSOFC performance, (4) single-cell performance has been demonstrated at very high current densities, and (5) multi-cell stack performance has improved significantly in terms of both higher open-circuit potential and lower cell resistance. The objectives of further development are to scale up the MSOFC in terms of power level, active area, and stack height. Scale-up to significant power levels (above 1 kw) will involve development in several areas including manifolding, insulation, gas handling and control, electrical contacts, and power control.
