Advantages of SOFC’s over other FC’s: FUEL CELLS SOFC’sThey generally have a liquid electrolyte. They have a solid electrolyte.
The off gases produced may be harmful. The by product produced is water.
Due to presence of liquid electrolyte, corrosion problem may arise.
No corrosion problems.
There may be a leakage of electrolyte. No leakage occurs as it is a solid electrolyte.
They don’t have much fuel flexibility. They can use any type of fuel.
They are of high cost. They are quite inexpensive.
They need a reformer to collect H2 gas from the fuel.
They work at high temperatures and hence don’t need a reformer for H2 collection.

Research • Research is going now in the direction of lower-temperature SOFC (400°C) in order to decrease the materials cost, which will enable the use of metallic materials with better thermal conductivity.
• Research is also going on in reducing start-up time to be able to implement SOFCs in mobile applications.
• Research is currently underway to improve the fuel flexibility of SOFCs.

Concentration polarization:The concentration polarization is the result of practical limitations on mass transport within the cell, and represents the voltage loss due to spatial variations in reactant concentration at the chemically active sites.
Activation polarization: The activation polarization is the result of the kinetics involved with the electrochemical reactions. Each reaction hasa certain activation barrier that must be overcome in order to proceed and this barrier leads to the polarization. Theactivation barrier is the result of many complex electrochemical reaction steps where typically the rate limiting stepis responsible for the polarization.

Target• DOE target requirements are 40,000 hours of service for stationary fuel cell applications and greater than 5,000 hours for transportation systems (fuel cell vehicles) at a factory cost of $400/kW for a 10 kW coal-based system without additional requirements. •Lifetime effects (phase stability, thermal expansion compatibility, element migration, conductivity and aging) must be addressed. •The Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance 2008 (interim) target for overall degradation per 1,000 hours is 4.0%.
