High-temperature, solid oxide electrolyte fuel cell power generating system. Annual report, June 1, 1980-May 31, 1981
Closed-end tubes are now being prepared in-house, for use in fabricating and evaluating the FBA cell design. New perovskite-type mixed oxides are being investigated as air electrode materials and some have been identified and are being used in FBA cell test evaluation studies. Initial FBA cells have been fabricated and tested. Although their performance is below target goals, fabrication procedures for all fuel cell components have been verified for cell construction. Areas of investigation for FBA cell performance improvement have been identified and work is proceeding in these areas. Variable-length cells in the series-cell stack design have demonstrated high (85%) fuel utilization with good performance (0.57 anti V at 400 mA/cm/sup 2/ average, simulated coal derived fuel, 1000/sup 0/C).
