摘要: In the present investigation ethanol-water mixtures were directly fed to a yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrochemical reactor operated in fuel cell mode and preliminary results are presented discussed. Poly crystalline films of platinum (Pt) silver (Ag) were, respectively, tested as anode catalysts wide range experimental conditions while cathode was exposed atmospheric air. The single direct ethanol solid oxide (DE-SOFC) tests performed order investigate separately Pt Ag's activities towards steam reaction performance (Pt-DESOFC Ag-DESOFC). both cases products on-line analyzed by mass spectrograph, gas chromatograph series analysers under operation. showed that even at high temperature values (>750°C) main CH 3 CHO, 4 , CO, H 2 CO . Furthermore, expected DESOFC improved increased. However, relatively poor has been obtained cases, which could be attributed following reasons: low (for YSZ electrolyte) operation temperature, presence homogeneous reactions, configuration.
