Direct-Ammonia Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (DA-SOFC)

Introduction Direct-Ammonia Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (DA-SOFCs) are an innovative type of fuel cell that directly utilize ammonia as a fuel source, offering a promising solution for sustainable energy generation. Emerging from the evolution of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), DA-SOFCs capitalize on ammonia’s potential as a carbon-free hydrogen carrier, which is crucial in the quest to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional fossil fuels. This technology is notable for its ability to improve efficiency and environmental outcomes, thereby attracting significant interest from both academic research and industry applications in recent years. The operation of DA-SOFCs involves the electrochemical conversion of ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen, facilitating electricity generation while […]
