アンモニア分解を行う Ni-YSZ 触媒上の表面温度分布測定と反応特性の解析

抄録

Ammonia can be used as a fuel for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems because anodes of SOFCs generally contain nickel, which works as a catalyst of ammonia decomposition. This research aims to observe the phenomena on Ni-YSZ anode surface during the ammonia decomposition. First, temperature distribution on the anode surface is obtained by using an infrared camera. Temperature drop is observed near the upstream edge of the catalyst when ammonia is supplied to the catalyst. Numerical simulation was also performed to obtain information which can't be observed through the experiment.
