Techno-Economic Optimization of an Integrated Biomass Waste Gasifier–Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Plant

François Maréchal, Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Victoria Xu Hong He, Arata Nakajo, Maria del Mar Perez Fortes

With a growing energy demand in a carbon-constrained society, fuels cells powered by renewable fuels, and specifically solid waste, are seen as interesting contributors to the energy portfolio. The alternative energy industry needs to reduce costs, enhance ...

Evolution of the Morphology Near Triple-Phase Boundaries in Ni–Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Electrodes Upon Cathodic Polarization

Jan Van Herle, Marco Cantoni, Guillaume Jeanmonod, Lucie Navratilova, Arata Nakajo, Priscilla Caliandro, Giorgio Rinaldi

Microstructural changes in Ni–yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) near the YSZ electrolyte were examined by three-dimensional (3D) electron microscopy after electrolysis and fuel cell operation up to 10,700 h and 15,000 h, respectively. The depletion of Ni an ...

Effects of Polarization on the Microstructural Changes at the YSZ/Ni-YSZ Interface

Jan Van Herle, Lucie Navratilova, Arata Nakajo, Priscilla Caliandro, Giorgio Rinaldi

This study examines the effect of Ni migration near the interface with the electrolyte after fuel cell (SOFC) and electrolysis mode (SOEC) operation on nickel-yttria stabilized zirconia (Ni-YSZ) electrodes. The experimental dataset consists in a series of ...
