Coke formation and performance of an intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell operating on dimethyl ether fuel

Dimethyl ether (DME) as a fuel of SOFCs is investigated with great attention paid to coke formation over the Ni-YSZ anode. DME is easily decomposed to CH4, CO and H2 at temperatures above 700 °C, with total conversion occurring at 850 °C over the Ni-YSZ catalyst. These data suggest that the DME elec...
