Researchers Demonstrate Liquid-Tin Anode SOFC Operating on Biodiesel

Green Car Congress

Researchers from CellTech Power and the University of Connecticut have demonstrated a liquid-tin anode solid-oxide fuel cell (LTA-SOFC) operating on pure biodiesel (B100) prepared via base-catalyzed transesterification of virgin and waste cooking oils. The LTA-SOFC concept under development is for portable power applications in the 0.5
