Ceramic Fuel Cell with Improved Stability by Reducing Nickel: Performance is Also Increased by 1.5 times
A domestic research team developed a ceramic fuel cell that secured both stability and high performance while reducing the amount of catalyst to 1/20.
Accordingly, it is expected that the application range of ceramic fuel cells, which could only be used for large-scale power generation, can be expanded to new fields due to the difficulty of frequent starting.
The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, Director Seok-Jin Yoon) is a nickel catalyst in the anode, an electrode in which hydrogen fuel is injected using thin film technology through a joint research by Dr. Jiwon Sohn’s team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST, President Seongcheol Shin). It was revealed that it has developed a new concept technology that suppresses the destruction caused by the oxidation-reduction cycle, which is a major cause of the destruction of ceramic fuel cells by significantly reducing the amount and size of the ceramic fuel cell.
