The course on high temperature fuel cells focuses on the two main types – SOFC and MCFC. In each case the materials used make the cells are discussed in terms of their chemical properties, their function and performance. The thermodynamics and electrochemistry of the single cell and stacks are then described with examples of iV-performance characterisation, degradation phenomena and electrical efficiency. In the case of SOFC the reverse operation as SOEC is also discussed as this technology is emerging as a major source of hydrogen production. In SOEC mode particular attention is given to operation under thermo-neutral conditions – a feature that set this technology apart from conversional low temperature electrolytic cells.
