Toward An Affordable Commercial Fuel Cell

Steve Visco, a materials scientist, has come up with a solid oxide fuel cell that promises to generate electricity as cheaply as the most efficient gas turbine engine. But there's a lot more work to do before commercially viable fuel cells and pollution-free power generators become reality.

@overunitydotcom LOL, a NiO-YSZ anode, YSZ electrolyte, and LSM cathode SOFC can be built relatively cheaply, since the catalyst is nickel. We'll see them eventually, but there are a lot of obstacles to overcome. Wait until you have an SOFC cell phone and laptop.

I find it funny you're ragging on a real technology, which is being studied all over the world, and you don't believe in the second law of thermo (overunitydotcome).

Obviously your thoughts shouldn't be taken seriously

All too expensive !

Just use KOH as alkali electrolyte,

then Nickel-doped graphite paper for the

electrodes. Very cheap to make.

Come to my website to find out more !

a nice intruduction to sofc though it is a bit out-dated

As far as hydrogen infrastructure, it can be piped through existing Natural Gas lines and extracted on site on demand. So, any fuel station near a natural gas line already has the infrastructure it needs to deliver hydrogen to consumers. This it a concept from the book "Solar Hydrogen Civilization" by Roy McAlister.

This is awesome
