固体酸化物形燃料電池開発の経緯と展望

抄録

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) development has been reviewed with an emphasis on the system development combined with stack development. The first generation SOFCs are compared with the second generation SOFCs for stationary application. In particular,sealless tubular cells fabricated with the electrochemical vapor deposition are compared with the anode-support flat tube cells fabricated with the wet-sintering process by Kyocera Corporation. The durability/reliability issues are also reviewed from the materials chemistry point of view.
