ESL Electro-Science, King of Prussia, Pa., has increased power density using new scandia stabilized zirconia electrolyte in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells.

The use of scandia stabilized zirconia (ScSZ) has recently been shown to more than double the power density achieved with conventional electrolyte materials for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC). ESL has announced the commercial availability of ScSZ in both tape form and as a fired substrate - a major step forward for developers of cost-efficient fuel cells.

High temperature SOFCs, based on an oxide-ion conducting electrolyte, offer a ...
