Popis: Direct internal reforming of methanol is applied as fuel for a Ni-YSZ anode-supported solid oxide fuel cell with a flat tube based on double-sided cathodes. It achieves a power density (PD) of 0.25 W/cm2 at 0.8 V, reaching about 90% of that is fueled by H2. And the cell has been operated for more than 120 h by the direct internal reforming of methanol. The durability and apparent advantage for using humidified methanol may lead to widespread applications by direct internal reforming method for this new designed SOFC in the future.
