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

该项目将生产新型混合离子和电子导电阴极，以降低固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC）的工作温度。这项技术的开发最终将造福于澳大利亚的电力消费者。它可以加速低成本SOFC的发展，可用于分布式发电。其好处包括提高了电力供应的可靠性，并通过提高天然气转化为电力的效率而节省了大量费用。根据市场渗透水平，广泛部署SOFC可以为澳大利亚消费者每年节省超过1亿美元。环保技术也将有利于减少澳大利亚的污染和温室气体。

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.
