Global Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Market
Growth Drivers
Challenges
High Capital Cost Associated with Solid Oxide Fuel Cell - A solid oxide fuel cell is an intricate synthesis of multiple chemical components that electrocatalytically oxidizes methane, LPG, and other natural gas-based fuels to generate electricity. Since, the fundamental chemical reaction is exothermic, SOFC runs at extremely high temperatures, typically between 700°C-1,200°C. Conventional ceramic electrolytes are ineffective at these temperatures. Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is therefore required as an electrolyte. Zirconium possesses properties that resemble those of titanium and a melting point of 1,852 °C. Zirconium, however, costs about twice as much per unit as usual ceramic-based electrolytes.
