The manufacture of fuel cells that can operate directly on various hydrocarbon fuels, without the need for reforming, has the potential of greatly speeding the application of fuel cells for transportation and distributed-power applications. This paper will briefly review the literature in this area
Operation of solid oxide fuel cells with standard Ni-YSZ cermet anodes requires a partial reforming of any hydrocarbon fuel to avoid deactivation of the electrode. Direct oxidation of the fuel would simplify the system, but requires significant innovation in anode materials.
