Novel cathode materials for low-temperature solid-oxide fuel cells

该项目将生产新型离子和电子混合导电阴极，以降低固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)的工作温度。所开发的技术最终将使澳大利亚电力消费者受益。它可以加速开发能够服务于分布式发电的低成本SOFC。其好处包括提高了供电的可靠性，并通过提高天然气到电力的转换效率节省了大量成本。根据市场渗透程度的不同，SOFC的广泛部署可以为澳大利亚消费者每年节省1亿多美元。这些环保技术也将有利于减少澳大利亚的污染和温室气体排放。

This project will produce novel mixed ionic and electronic conducting cathodes to reduce the operating temperature of solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The technology developed is of ultimate benefit to the Australian electricity consumer. It can accelerate the development of low-cost SOFCs that can serve in distributed power generation. The benefits include increased reliability of the power supply and substantive cost savings through increased efficiency of the conversion of gas to electricity. Depending on the level of market penetration, the broad deployment of SOFCs can save well over $100 million/year for the Australian consumer. The environmentally friendly technologies will also be beneficial for reducing pollution and greenhouse gases in Australia.
