T-CELL Project publication in International Innovation
The T-CELL Project (Innovative SOFC Architecture based on Triode Operation) was a European research initiative that lasted from September 2012 to February 2016, coordinated by the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH).
Funding: European Union (FP7), Coordinator: CERTH / CPERI
🎯 Project Objectives
- Development of innovative solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) with triode operation
- Improvement of thermal and electrochemical performance
- Reduction of carbon deposition and sulfur poisoning
- Efficient use of hydrocarbon fuels (e.g. natural gas, biomethane)
⚙️ Innovations
- Introduction of a third electrode to control electrochemical reactions
- New anode materials such as Ni, Mo, Au with high catalytic activity
- Design of new cell geometries for enhanced stability and durability
🧪 Results
- Successful demonstration of operation under real conditions with significant reduction of carbon deposition
- Improved understanding of redox mechanisms in SOFCs
- Creation of a basis for future commercial exploitation of the technology
