Diesel is an excellent candidate fuel for fuel cell applications due to its high hydrogen density and well-established infrastructure. But, it is hard to guarantee desirable performance of diesel reformer because diesel reforming has several problems such as sulfur poisoning of catalyst and carbon deposition. We have been focusing on diesel autothermal reforming(ATR) for substantial period. It is reported that ATR of diesel has several technical advantages such as relatively high efficiency and fuel conversion compared to steam reforming(SR) and partial oxidation(POX). In this paper, we investigate characteristics of diesel reforming under various ratios of reactants(oxygen to carbon ratio, steam to carbon ratio) for improvement of reforming performances(high reforming efficiency, high fuel conversion, low carbon deposition). We also exhibit calculated heat balance of autothermal reformer at each condition to help thermal management of SOFC system.

본 연구는 세라믹 연결재로 사용되는 Perovskite 구조의 LYSMO조성의 실제 SOFC stack적용을 위한 소결온도 제어방법에 관해 연구하였다. SOFC 단전지에서 IC소재는 $1300{\sim}{\cdot}1400^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 소결이 이루어져만 하나 현재 연구발표된 IC는 대부분이 $1500^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 소결이 되므로 실제 stack적용에 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기위해 IC소재에 소결조제를 첨가하여 소결온도를 제어코자 하였다. 실험결과 $MgB_6$와 $LaB_6$등의 불화물계의 첨가가 세라믹 연결재의 소결온도 감소에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 소결조제의 첨가는 소결온도의 감소를 이끌었지만 열팽창 계수에는 큰 영향을 끼치지는 않았다. 하지만 전기적 특성은 큰 폭으로 감소하여 전기전도도 개선을 위한 다른 방안이 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) is used to characterize coke species deposited on commercial nickel catalyst, C11-PR during propane pre-reforming. Propane pre-reforming performed under various condition, S/C from 1.5 to 2.5 and temperature from $350^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$. There are three kinds of coke species detected by TPO: (i) reactive coke, (ii) coke deposited on metal site and (iii) coke deposited on acid support. Coke deposited on metal and support are minimized although reactive coke is generated at temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ and S/C of 2.0. Reactive coke is expected to remove easily below temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. Therefore, optimized pre-reforming condition for propane is $400^{\circ}C$ and S/C of 2.0.

The internal reforming of n-Butane on Ni-YSZ and Cu-Ceria-YSZ was investigated with anode granule at steam to carbon ratio from 0 to 3 and at temperature of $750^{\circ}C$. Although hydrogen production was lager at Ni-YSZ, resistivity for carbon deposition was better at Cu-Ceria-YSZ. These phenomena occur because unwanted side reaction go on with reforming reaction for hydrogen production at Ni-YSZ.

Nanocrystalline ceria powders were prepared by hydrothermal treatment of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate solution without a precipitating agent. A systematic investigation of the effect of hydrothermal temperature and react ion time on the physical properties of the product powders was carried out. When the hydrothermal temperature was increased, the product ceria powders exhibited larger crystallite size with higher yield. Increasing reaction time produced more crystalline ceria powders attributed to further hydrothermal reactions and structural rearrangement. The physical properties of ceria powders can be control led by adjusting the hydrothermal conditions.

In order to develop SOFC cell performance, many kind of things were investigated. Electrode microstructure is the one of them therefore we focus on electrodes fabrication easily and efficiently. We can fabricate electrodes easily with Pt using DC magnetron sputtering and sintering. However sputtering is difficult to handle and to grow porous electrodes what we require. On the other hand sintering is much easier than sputtering to make porous and adhesive electrodes. So in this paper we deal with sintering and optimize to deposit electrodes conditions by analyzing electrode microstructure with sacnning electron microscopy(SEM) micrograph. Also, we compare electrochemical performance of cells fabricated by sputtering and sintering.

In this study, the relation between the performance degradation of SOFC single cell and the increase of polarization resistance for the cathode is investigated. $Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}Co_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_3$(PSCF3737, $19.4{\times}10^{-6}K^{-1}$) and $Gd_{0.1}Ce_{0.9}O_2$ (CGO91, $12{\times}10^{-6}K^{-1}$) are used as a cathode and an electrolyte, respectively. The polarization resistance of cathode is increased due to the delamination caused by thermal expansion coefficient difference. The voltage drop with 10%/1000h decline rate occurs during long-term, when the interface between the cathode and the electrolyte is delaminated due to TEC difference.

Direct Carbon Fuel Cells (DCFCs) generates electricity directly converting the chemical energy in coal. In the present study, effects of anode and current collector materials on the power density of DCFC are investigated experimentally. The adopted DCFC system is combined type of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC) with the use of a liquid-molten salt anode and a solid oxide electrolyte, proposed by SRI. Power densities of 25 mm button cells with various combination of anode materials and current collector materials are measured.
