| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Anode-supported honeycomb solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that give promising volumetric power density were fabricated by coating and co-firing the electrolyte and cathode on a porous anode support with nine 3x3 channels in-house. A Rh-based partial oxidation reforming catalyst was installed in the anode flow channels of the cell, and methane/air mixture fuel was fed to the channels with the catalyst to reform the fuel and generate electricity. Current-voltage characteristics were successfully evaluated. In addition, we measured the three-dimensional temperature distribution. We found that the performance can be improved by optimizing the three-dimensional fuel transport path with the arrangement of the catalyst-fuel channels and outlet channels.
