Low molecular weight alkane-fed solid oxide fuel cells for power and chemicals cogeneration

doi:10.1016/j.jechem.2023.01.033

Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents a review of low molecular weight alkane-fed solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which, unlikely the conventional use of SOFCs for only power production, are utilized to cogenerate produce use-ful chemicals at the same time. The cogeneration processes in SOFC have been classified according to the different types of fuel. C₂ and C₃ alkenes and synthesis gas are the main cogenerated chemicals together with electricity. The chemicals and energy cogeneration in a fuel cell reactor seems to be an effective alternative to conventional reactors for only chemicals production and conventional fuel cells for only power production. Although, the use of SOFCs for chemicals and energy cogeneration has proved success-ful in the industrial setting, the development of new catalysts aimed at obtaining the desired chemicals together with the production of a high amount of energy, and optimizing SOFC operation conditions is still a challenge to enhance system performance and make commercial applications workable.
