SOFC Development in Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Solid oxide fuel cell is recognized as one of the promising technologies for green power generation in the 21^th century. Extensive attention has been attracted on its development in last decade worldwide. In Huazhong University of Science and Technology, A R&D center for the development of solid oxide fuel cells was established in 2004, since then SOFC key materials (including cathodes, interconnects, contacts and seals), cell fabrications, stack designs and assembly as well as system integration have been focused. So far significant progresses have been achieved, including high performance key materials, large scale cells, kW stacks and a 5kW-scale system. In this talk, detailed developments are presented.
