Grants and Contributions:
Title:
Advancing a flexible and modular solid oxide fuel cell system
Agreement Number:
1042043
Agreement Value:
$75,000.00
Agreement Date:
May 1, 2026 - Mar 31, 2027
Description:
The project is developing its first minimum viable product based on fuel-flexible, metal-supported solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology. While the core innovations at the cell level have been successfully demonstrated at laboratory scale (TRL 3), the next phase focuses on scaling the technology to a functional 100 W integrated system and advancing toward TRL 7 validation.
This project aims to scale cell size to commercialize size, fabricate multiple cells, integrate them into a stack, and develop a complete SOFC generator system. The prototype will be validated under controlled conditions to assess performance, durability, fuel flexibility, and system integration.
