Intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells ITSOFC

Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (ITSOFC) The electrolyte and electrode materials in this fuel cell are basically the same as used in the TSOFC. The ITSOFC operates at a lower temperature, however, typically between 600 to 800°C. For this reason, thin film technology is being developed to promote ionic conduction alternative electrolyte materials are also being developed.

ITSOFC The intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell combines the best available attributes of fuel cell technology development with intermediate temperature (600-800°C) operation. Ceramic components are used for electrodes and electrolytes carbon does not... 

Research is actively being carried out on electrolyte materials with a view to finding a good ion conductor at a temperature lowered to around 600 C, in order to reduce the thermal and mechanical stress on the cells, reduce the costs and increase the lifetime, thus creating ITSOFCs (Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells).
