V. Antonucci et al., PARTIAL OXIDATION OF METHANE IN SOLID OXIDE FUEL-CELLS - AN EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION, Journal of power sources, 62(1), 1996, pp. 95-99
Operation results of a 150 W tubular solid oxide fuel cell stack proto
type, directly fuelled by methane, are presented. Fuel is partially ox
idized to synthesis gas as an alternative route to steam reforming. An
extensive electrochemical investigation, consisting in the analysis o
f the performance attained during a 3000 h endurance test, shows the f
easibility of the process.
