Abstract:
A fuel cell having a single cell 20 comprises a hydrogen permeable metal layer 22 and a cathode 24 as layers equipped with catalytic metal for promoting a reaction of a labile substance supplied to the fuel cell during production of electricity in the fuel cell. Also, the fuel cell has an electrolyte layer 21 formed with a solid oxide. The electrolyte layer 21 has a high grain boundary density electrolyte layer 27, and low grain boundary density electrolyte layers 25 and 26 as decomposition reaction suppress parts to suppress a decomposition reaction of the solid oxide due to the catalyst metal.

Abstract:
A hydrogen generation device (110) includes a catalyst (162); a sulfur-trap member (164); a soot-trap member (166); a pair of reformers (112, 114); and a control portion (170). In each reformer (112, 114), a reforming reaction is carried out to generate hydrogen-containing gas using gasoline and cathode off-gas on the catalyst (162), and an exothermic reaction is carried out to heat the catalyst (162) using anode off- gas and air. The control portion (170) executes a control such that the reactant and the exothermic material are alternately supplied to each reformer (112, 114), whereby the reforming reaction and the exothermic reaction are alternately carried out in each reformer (112, 114). A fuel cell system (100) includes the hydrogen generation device (110).
Abstract:
A solid electrolyte includes a metal part having a hydrogen permeability and a metal oxide part having a proton conductivity. The metal part and the metal oxide part are formed integrally. A boundary face formed at a boundary between the hydrogen permeable metal part and the solid electrolyte part is restrained, because the hydrogen permeable metal part and the solid electrolyte part are formed integrally. A peel strength between the hydrogen permeable metal part and the solid electrolyte part is increased.
Abstract:
First, a solid-state electrolyte layer that has conductivity for ions of one of hydrogen and oxygen is formed. After that, a dense layer made of an electrode material that has electron conductivity, catalyst activity to accelerate the electrochemical reaction, and a characteristic of allowing permeation of ions and/or atoms of the other one of hydrogen and oxygen is formed on a surface of the electrolyte layer. Then a fuel cell structure that includes the electrolyte layer and the dense layer is built. After that, the electrochemical reaction is caused to progress by supplying a fuel and oxygen to the fuel cell structure, so that in the dense layer, many micropores extending through the dense layer in the film thickness direction are created due to the generated water that is created between the electrolyte layer and the dense layer.
Abstract:
A fuel cell of the invention has a hydrogen permeable metal layer, which is formed on a plane of an electrolyte layer that has proton conductivity and includes a hydrogen permeable metal. The fuel cell includes a higher temperature zone and a lower temperature zone that has a lower temperature than the higher temperature zone. The hydrogen permeable metal layer includes a lower temperature area A corresponding to the lower temperature zone and a higher temperature area B corresponding to the higher temperature zone. The lower temperature area A and the higher temperature area B have different settings of composition and/or layout of components. This arrangement effectively prevents potential deterioration of cell performance due to an uneven distribution of internal temperature of the fuel cell including the hydrogen permeable metal layer.
