The patented SOFC double-sided solid oxide fuel cell technology enables an increase in the active area of the cell, resulting in higher power generated by a single cell. The use of an all-ceramic design eliminates the need for interconnectors in cell stacks, effectively reducing degradation caused by cathode poisoning from chromium emitted by metallic interconnectors.
Flexibility
The rDSC cells manufactured at HydrogenTech have a wide range of applications. They can function as electricity generators powered by hydrogen, natural gas or biogas, providing high efficiency without technological compromise. In addition, rDSC cell stacks can operate in water electrolysis mode to produce hydrogen. Thanks to their high operating temperature, it is possible to integrate them into industrial processes that generate waste heat, leading to increased energy efficiency and lower operating costs.
Simple power scaling
The cell manufacturing method and stack design we have developed enable stacks to be customized in a wide power range to suit the customer's needs. This ranges from small 100 W stacks for laboratory research to kilowatt modules used in industrial applications. This flexibility makes it possible to tailor the solution precisely to individual customer requirements and to integrate it efficiently into existing customer systems.
