In this program, we are developing next-generation SOFC materials and architectures for use with biomass-derived fuel streams, with a focus on addressing the technical challenges and the required operating windows associated with carbon-deposit formation. We are developing fuel-processing strategies for processing landfill- and anaerobic-digester-derived biomass streams for use in SOFCs. Similarly, we are examining processing of biomass-derived liquid fuels for use in solid-oxide fuel cell systems. We conduct extensive computational modeling work to support the materials-development and fuel-processing tasks. Modeling is conducted across a broad range of length scales, from the microscopic level to examine the fundamental underpinnings of cell operation, to the mesoscopic level to examine and optimize fuel-reformer design, and to the system level to craft optimal integration and dynamic-control solutions.
