A high-temperature fuel cell developed by the Ulrich Research Center in Germany has a continuous service life of more than 70,000 hours, which is longer than any previous ceramic fuel cell. This solid oxide high temperature fuel cell is ideally suited for home or small businesses, as well as the power supply for trucks, trains or ships.
Thomas Rachel, the State Secretary of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, highly praised the results achieved by the Ulrich Research Center. He said: "The Ulrich Center's world record for fuel cells shows that fuel cells are efficient and environmentally friendly power sources and heat sources that can contribute to balancing the volatility of renewable energy and will be an important factor in the success of energy transformation in Germany. cornerstone."
The high-temperature fuel cell developed by the Ulrich Research Center began work in August 2007 and has a design life of up to 80,000 hours. It has been working continuously for more than 70,000 hours, breaking the previous 6.9 created by Siemens Westinghouse Electric Power. A million-hour world record. This two-phase high-temperature fuel cell uses hydrogen fuel, which can be replaced with natural gas or methane, as needed. From the beginning of the trial to the present, 3,400 kilowatt-hours of electricity have been supplied, which is enough for a family's annual electricity consumption. From an economic point of view, this battery is fully suitable for home-powered heating, but to be applied on vehicles, experts estimate that it will take five years for development.
Prof. Bolt, member of the Executive Committee of the Ulrich Research Center, said: "This record first proved that the materials we developed can work effectively for such a long time. However, if we want to work in a car engine at a high temperature of 700 degrees Celsius, we have to There are many challenges in the application of materials."
The Ulrich Research Center has developed solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) for more than 20 years and has obtained 95 patents. (Reporter Gu Gang)
