C. as an electrolysis cell, to produce H.sub.2 and O.sub.2 ; (B) passing the H.sub.2 gas so produced into an energy storage reactor containing iron oxide, to produce iron metal and steam; (C) recirculating the steam produced in the energy storage reactor to the cathode of the electrolysis cell; and (D) repeating steps (A) to (C) until the iron oxide is converted to iron metal, for chemical storage of electrical energy. The second, energy recovery, mode comprises steps of: (E) supplying steam to the energy storage reactor containing iron metal, to produce iron oxides and H.sub.2 gas; (F) passing this H.sub.2 gas to the fuel anode of an electrochemical cell operating as a fuel cell, and supplying O.sub.2 gas to the air cathode of the electrochemical cell, to produce electrical energy and steam at the fuel anode; (G) recirculating the steam so produced to the energy storage reactor bed; (H) repeating steps (E) to (G) until the iron metal is converted to iron oxide and H.sub.2 gas; and (I) recovering the electrical energy produced.

摘要： Solid oxide fuel cells having improved low-temperature operation are disclosed. In one embodiment, an interfacial layer of terbia-stabilized zirconia is located between the air electrode and electrolyte of the solid oxide fuel cell. The interfacial layer provides a barrier which controls interaction between the air electrode and electrolyte. The interfacial layer also reduces polarization loss through the reduction of the air electrode/electrolyte interfacial electrical resistance. In another embodiment, the solid oxide fuel cell comprises a scandia-stabilized zirconia electrolyte having high electrical conductivity. The scandia-stabilized zirconia electrolyte may be provided as a very thin layer in order to reduce resistance. The scandia-stabilized electrolyte is preferably used in combination with the terbia-stabilized interfacial layer. The solid oxide fuel cells are operable over wider temperature ranges and wider temperature gradients in comparison with conventional fuel cells.
