Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Intermediate temperature fuel cells (ITFCs) operating at 100℃ to 300℃ have various advantages compared with other fuel cells, however there was no good proton conductive solid electrolyte to operate in the intermediate temperature range. Therefore, we developed inorganic electrolytes hybridized with inorganic glass matrixes which is excellent in water resistance and low gas permeability, and aimed to bring ITFCs closer to practical use. As a result, the electrolytes with high water resistance operating in the intermediate temperature range have been developed with ZrO2 - 2P2O5 electrolyte hybridized with ZnO - 2P2O5 glass with a silane treatment. Also, ITFCs were fabricated with the electrolytes, and we have succeeded in generating electricity using various fuels.
