Oscillating syngas production on NiO/YSZ catalyst from methane oxidation
Introduction Nickel oxide/yttrium-stabilized zirconia (NiO/YSZ) is a state-of-the-art anode used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Despite its excellent electrochemical activity in hydrogen fuel cells, there are barriers to the storage of hydrogen, which have stimulated interest in the investigation of chemical reactions on NiO/YSZ involving methane, a major component of natural gas. Many ...

Green Energy: From Waste to Syngas Production
Syngas production from waste gasification is one way to produce renewable energy. However, varying waste compositions can make gasification challenging to control, resulting in inconsistent syngas compositions. Closely monitoring gas composition and adjusting process conditions during gasification can ensure consistent, high-quality syngas production. Infrared sensors are the ideal solution for ...

Reviewing the factors affecting regenerative molten carbonate fuel cells
To evaluate the possibility to use molten carbonate fuel cell technology for high temperature electrolysis, the factors affecting the electrode reactions have been examined by surveying the published literature. The literature results showed that H2, CO2 and CO evolved as cathode off–gases and O2 as anode gas. At low polarisation, the discharge of oxide ions to O2 was the only anodic process; ...
