The objective of the program is to advance materials and fabrication methodologies to develop a monolithic solid oxide fuel cell (MSOFC) system capable of meeting performance, life, and cost goals for coal-based power generation. The program focuses on materials research and development, fabrication process development, cell/stack performance testing and characterization, cost and system analysis, and quality development. An introductory section describes the design features of the MSOFC. The remainder of the report discusses the progress made in four of the six main tasks of this project: Materials research and development; Fabrication; Testing on coal gas; and Quality development.
