Scope |
This test method will cover the
determination of the area specific resistance and electrochemical
performance of single cell, planar solid oxide fuel cells tested in a
circular, button-cell geometry between 700 – 900 C. The electronic
response of the cell is measured at prescribed values of temperature,
fuel composition, and fuel flow rates. The test method will provide
complete and detailed information on test apparatus, configuration, and
calibration; test specimen geometry, preparation, characterization and
conditioning; control and measurement of experimental parameters; fuel
and oxidant specifications; test conditions and procedures; data
collection and calculations; and test reporting requirements. The test
method will provide SOFC developers and users direction on how to test
SOFC prototype materials and systems in a uniform and consistent manner
that will give accurate, complete and comparable performance. |
