jaskay/ CO Right. CO (carbon monoxide) is produced when the hydrogen is stripped from the methane. It is then converted to CO2 (hopefully) before it leaves the cell. The term 'catalysed' means 'sped up'. The reaction of CO => CO2 will happen faster when in contact with the hot ceramic. So will the stripping of hydrogens from the methane, I presume. The 'oxide' is the membrane separating the air side from the methane side. It allows oxygen to cross to join with the carbon; the oxygen brings electrons with it, creating the current. The oxide gets its name from its composition, usually some form of ceramic oxide (i.e., Solid Oxide). >>Hope you don't mind, I don't mind at all, so long as Zeev doesn't mind correcting me when I screw up. ;)
