Research Summary

A Protonic Ceramic Fuel Cell (PCFC) is a type of high-temperature fuel cell that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy through an electrochemical process. Unlike traditional solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that operate with oxide ion conduction, PCFCs utilize proton-conducting ceramics as the electrolyte. The protonic conductivity allows for the transport of protons (H⁺) across the electrolyte, facilitating the electrochemical reactions at the anode and cathode. PCFCs can operate at temperatures ranging from 500 to 800 degrees Celsius, which contributes to faster reaction kinetics and improved cell performance. This elevated temperature also enables the use of a wider range of fuel options, including hydrogen, methane, and other hydrocarbons. Protonic Ceramic Fuel Cells hold promise for efficient and clean energy conversion, with potential applications in stationary power generation, distributed energy systems, and other industrial processes. The development of PCFC technology is an area of ongoing research aiming to enhance performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness for broader commercial deployment.
