Research Abstract |
A gas mixture of methane, air and water vapor was supplied to the electrodes of solid oxide fuel cells to examine their basic characteristics as reforming catalyst. Ni contained in the anode works as a catalyst for the exothermic oxidation reaction as well as for the endothermic steam reforming reaction. It shows that the heat released by the oxidation reaction can be effectively utilized for the steam reforming reaction. The obtained experimental results were applied to numerical simulations to find operating conditions in which the autothermal reforming could be achieved.
