Japan's new energy industry technology comprehensive development organization and the Industrial Technology Research Institute have jointly developed the world's first proton conductive ceramic fuel cell (PCFC). PCFC is expected to achieve 75% power generation efficiency, surpassing all previous Power generation components.
The Institute successfully produced a practical size PCFC of 80 mm square by developing a diffusion sintering technology that can be applied to mass production processes. The proton ceramic fuel cell developed this time, at a working temperature of 600 ° C, is about 0.85 volts. When the voltage is applied, the current density reaches 0.3 amps/cm 2, which confirms that the power generation characteristics are superior to those of conventional solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).
