Project description:
A titanium-supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is a promising alternative to a steel-supported one desirable for unmanned aerial, marine or space vehicles, and other portable wearable applications like soldier ammunition, oxygen concentrators for medical patients etc. The studies performed by authors confirm that Ti-MAX phases and Ti-Si-based nanocomposites can be used as light-weight alternatives to high temperature iron-base materials in SOFC systems. The major goal of the project is to develop a light 600 °C SOFC based on novel yttria stabilized zirconia powder and heat-resistant titanium composites as fuel cell support, interconnect, and casing.
The research within the project is sponsored by the NATO Science For Peace and Security Programme.
