Outline of Final Research Achievements

Thought the project, it was confirmed and verified that the fuel system using both the propellant and the oxidizer onboard the spacecraft functions as a system. The solid oxide catalyzer is used for the reformation for obtaining oxygen from the oxidizer nitrous-oxide. And the SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) experiment was performed. The fuel is the water added ethanol carried by the spacecraft as the propellant, which does not need to be reformed. The experiment vaporizes the ethanol at the room temperature and uses the Argon as a carrier gas. Open voltage and current density results obtained are satisfactory for the embodiment. The performance is expected to be enhanced by optimizing the fuel supply to the electrode.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

液相で輸送、貯蔵可能な、宇宙機搭載の酸化剤および燃料を用いた「液-液」燃料電池の実用性を確認できた。
宇宙機用液体推進剤を利用した燃料電池発電が、比較的単純な構成でシステムとして機能することが確認された。非凍結性と推進性能、および発電性能の3重の機能の同時実現は、宇宙機において格別な意義をもつ。短時間に高電力の運用を行うために、過剰な電源系を装備させることを回避でき、とくに深宇宙におけるミッションを大きく拡張することにつながる。得られた知見から、バイオエタノールの採用で、脱炭素社会の実現をうながす水素キャリアとしての社会・産業応用へ通ずる。
