EFFECT OF STRUCTURE AND SURFACE CHEMISTRY ON ELECTRODE REACTIONS IN SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS


EMSL Project ID
37499

Abstract

One of the most intriguing questions about solid oxide fuel cells is the relative importance of gas-solid interfaces including three-phase boundaries between electrode, electrolyte and gas with respect to redox reactions and the role of the electrode surface structure and surface chemistry on the kinetics of the electrode reactions. We plan to use a suite of thin film deposition tools and characterization tools available at the EMSL to study such reactions.
