MIT Tech Review: Cooling Down Solid-Oxide Fuel Cells
20-Apr-2011
A startup moves toward thin-film solid-oxide fuel cells suitable for practical devices.
Startup company SiEnergy Systems has overcome a major barrier to commercializing solid-oxide fuel cells with a prototype that operates at temperatures hundreds of degrees lower than those on the market today. Working with Harvard materials science professor, Shriram Ramanathan, SiEnergy Systems, based in Boston, has demonstrated a solid-oxide fuel cell that can operate at 500 degrees Celsius, as opposed to the 800 to 1,000 degrees required by existing devices.
