High-temperature fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy of fuel directly into electrical energy and heat energy when fuel and oxidant are supplied. It consists of electrolyte, anode and cathode. The anode and cathode are electronic conductors, and the electrolyte only conducts ionic species.
High-temperature fuel cells offer several advantages over conventional power generation technologies, such as high electrical efficiency, high heat source temperature, high power density, simpler balance-of-plant (BoP), low particulate and gas emissions, low noise and stable power output (no spikes or electrical noise) .
High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) are a promising energy conversion technology due to their quick reaction kinetics, high tolerance to CO impurities, and ease of heat
The configuration of such kind of system could facilitate an easy capture of CO 2. Several novel CO 2 capture strategies have been developed based on high-temperature fuel cells, such as solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) and direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC).
Instead of cooling the fuel cell with air and losing the heat to the environment, the waste heat is now stored in a latent heat storage to later be used for preheating the fuel cell. Different experiments are conducted to find the optimum operation point of the latent heat storage in combination with the fuel cell.
