Development of a 1 kW internal reforming Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) stack. Second semi-annual progress report

Abstract

This report covers the activities carried out by the Netherlands Energy Research Foundation (ECN) including the Centre for Research on Ceramics and Catalysts (CKKO), British Gas (BG) and the Consiglio Nationale delle Ricerche (CNR-TAE) during the period 1 December 1990 - 1 June 1991 for `A collaborative project to build a 1 kW internal reforming MCFC stack`. The progress reports of the above-mentioned institutes, being the chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively, are presented. Furthermore the minutes of a meeting held on June 20 and 21 in Messina, Italy, are included in the appendix. The primary purpose of this project is to develop a proof-of-principle internal reforming MCFC stack of 1 kW. In addition, a suitable catalyst has to be selected or developed, insight has to be obtained in the poisoning of the catalyst and the transport mechanism of carbonate and the influence of the process pressure on internal reforming cell performance has to be established. The main task of ECN is to integrate the methane reforming catalyst in the separator plates of a stack. BG and CNR emphasize especially the catalyst research. In-house developed catalysts at BG and CNR as well as commercially available catalysts are being investigated.  More>>
