A Direct Ammonia Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Abstract

Abstract: A Ni-anode-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with a dense yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin film was fabricated. The YSZ film was prepared using the vacuum-assisted dip-coating method. The performance of the single SOFC-based system running on ammonia was compared with that running on hydrogen. At 800 ℃, the peak power densities were 202 and 200 mW/cm2 with hydrogen and ammonia as the fuel, respectively. A GC analysis of the effluent from the anode showed considerable amounts of nitrogen and hydrogen, but no trace of NOx, when using ammonia as the fuel. The ammonia performance is comparable to hydrogen, suggesting that ammonia can be an attractive alternative fuel.

Key words: ammonia, vacuum-assisted dip-coating, anode-supported tube, solid oxide fuel cell
