Refroming of Hydrocarbons on Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Anodes
EMSL Project ID
20792
Abstract
The work to be performed is to characterize materials used during reforming of methane and other hydrocarbons. Nickel-based anodes (of powder and plate form) used in solid oxide fuel cells and/or separate reforming reactors are examined for on-anode reforming activity of methane and larger hydrocarbons at PSL and/or other locations at PNL. Pre-run and post-run materials will be analyzed using the facilities at EMSL to examine material structural and morphological changes. The main characterization equipment/techniques used will be XRD, TEM, and SEM. However as the project progresses, there may be a need for testing and characterization using other equipment at EMSL. We require the use of EMSL facilities for the ability to properly characterize the materials so suitable publications and project progress can be made.
