Oh oh ... i don't know what any of that means, I'm not a membrane of the scientific community ... probably don't know enough to ask logical questions even .... looks like Gulo and jaskay do though.

One basic question, which arises because of the Delphi deal, is this;

Could SOFCs be adapted for automotive use? ... it seems that so far only PEMs have been considered for the application. This site [undoubtedly bld propaganda-g-] says so - iesvic.uvic.ca

I doubt that many of the fine details are known outside the lab at this point ... likely well guarded ... here's the gle website though - globalte.com

Here's the chart, where i feel at home -
chart.canada-stockwatch.com

... gotta go now but back later ...... cheers and thanks

Zeev! Glad to see you here. I haven't talked to you since the Desert Dirts. (Back then, I was using my real name.)

>>What are they using as the oxide, calcia stabilized zirconia?

Not likely. Yttrium stabilized is more common (3YSZ and 8YSZ). A company down under, Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd, claims to be using 'Sc2O3–ZrO2' (sic). I have no idea what 'Sc' is. If I were to venture a wild (and entirely uneducated) guess, I'd say Global is using 8YSZ, because it has given the highest performance to date.
Argonne Nat Lab has been testing Ce(0.9)Ge(0.1)O2 for strength improvements. I haven't seen performance stats on a CeGe oxide cell yet (and I'd hate to see the price).

Lots of CO produced, catalyzed to CO2 on exit.

>>what is the query?

Don't worry, you will NOT lack queries.
