Figure 2. Performance of fuel cells with the new anode in dry C3H8.
(a) Typical current–voltage characteristics and the corresponding power densities measured at 750 °C for cells with a configuration of BaO/Ni-YSZ |YSZ| SDC/LSCF when dry C3H8 was used as the fuel and ambient air as the oxidant. (b) Terminal voltages measured at 750 °C as a function of time for the cells with and without BaO/Ni interfaces operated at a constant current density of 500 mA cm−2 with dry C3H8 as the fuel. Water was formed on the anode by electrochemical oxidation of dry C3H8.
