Research abstract
The NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) continues to develop on SOFC technology for the aeronautics’ industry and their approach is significantly different than the approaches being pursued by the Department of Energy’s Solid Energy Conversion Alliance companies. The NASA Bi-Electrode Supported Cell (BSC) SOFC technology has the potential to provide a significant increase in power performance per weight (W/kg) and increased reliability of the fuel cell stack. ENrG has an agreement with NASA to continue development and commercialization of the technology. The Phase 2 activities for this SBIR will include proof-of-concept laboratory testing to document that the durability of the BSC technology meets the project goals.
