摘要：

This presentation focuses on the designs, materials, processing, and performance of high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells including the possible use of nano-grained and nano-porous materials for the electrolyte and the electrodes, respectively. Recent progress in the deployment of power generation systems built with various design solid oxide fuel cells and their operating experiences, as well as challenges in reducing cell and system costs, are summarized and discussed.　Solid oxide fuel cells can also be operated in reverse operating mode for hydrogen and syngas production through electrolysis of steam and mixtures of steam and carbon dioxide; interest in solid oxide electrolysis has greatly increased during the last decade. Application of solid oxide cells for electrolysis is also discussed in this overview.

Dr. Singhal worked as a Battelle Fellow and Director, Fuel Cells at PNNL from 2000 to 2013 and provided senior technical, managerial, and commercialization leadership to the laboratory’s extensive fuel cell and clean energy programs. Before that, he worked for over 29 years, initially as a scientist and later as Manager-Fuel Cell Technology at the Westinghouse Electric Corporation. While at Westinghouse (that later became part of Siemens). From 1984 to 2000, as manager of Fuel Cell Technology there, he was responsible for the development of high temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) for stationary power generation.He has authored 100 scientific publications, edited 17 books, received 13 patents, and given over 325 plenary, keynote and other invited presentations worldwide.

 

Dr. Singhal is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the Washington State Academy of Sciences; a Fellow of four professional societies (American Ceramic Society, The Electrochemical Society, ASM International, and American Association for the Advancement of Science); and a senior member of the Mineral, Metals & Materials Society (TMS). He serves on the Editorial Board of the Elsevier’s Journal of Power Sources and was an Associate Editor of ASME’s Journal of Fuel Cell Science and Technology. He has also served on many national and international advisory panels including those of the National Academies, Materials Properties Council, National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Energy, NATO Advanced Study Institutes and NATO Science for Peace Programs, United Nations Development Program (UNDP), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), International Energy Agency (IEA), and the European Commission.
