Abstract
The paper presents recent advances in Poland in the field of high
temperature fuel cells. The achievements in the materials development,
manufacturing of advanced cells, new fabrication techniques, modified
electrodes and electrolytes and applications are presented. The work of
the Polish teams active in the field of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC)
and molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) is presented and discussed. The
review is oriented towards presenting key achievements in the technology
at the scale from microstructure up to a complete power system based on
electrochemical fuel oxidation. National efforts are covering wide
range of aspects both in the fundamental research and the applied
research. The review present the areas of (i) novel materials for SOFC
including ZrO2-based electrolytes, CeO2-based electrolytes, Bi2O3
based electrolytes and proton conducting electrolytes, (ii) cathode
materials including thermal shock resistant composite cathode material
and silver-containing composites, (iii) anode materials, (iv) metallic
interconnects for SOFC, (v) novel fabrication techniques, (vi) pilot
scale SOFC, including electrolyte supported SOFC (ES-SOFC) and anode
supported SOFC (AS-SOFC), (vii) metallic supported SOFC (MS-SOFC),
(viii) direct carbon SOFC (DC-SOFC), (ix) selected application of SOFC,
(x) advances in MCFC and their applications, (xi) advances in numerical
methods for simulation and optimization of electrochemical systems.
