Running on natural gas
Article Abstract:
It is likely that fuel cells will need to use hydrocarbons such as methane, or alcohols, such as methanol as fuel in the immediate future. It is important to study the merits of direct electrochemical oxidation of methane, and Murray and colleagues have developed a method of direct electrochemical oxidation of dry methane in intermediate-temperature solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The electrodes comprise a thin layer of yttria-doped ceria and a thicker layer of nickel-ceramic composite.
