Fabrication and characterisation of planar and tubular solid oxide fuel cell anodes (2013)
Thesis
Zhang, Y. Fabrication and characterisation of planar and tubular solid oxide fuel cell anodes. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6071

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are energy conversion devices that convert the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electricity and useful heat, where the latter is recovered at the device’s high working temperature. SOFCs have become important in... Read More about Fabrication and characterisation of planar and tubular solid oxide fuel cell anodes.
