RedOx Stability of Anode Supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. Thèse EPFL, no 4893 (2011). Dir. Jan Van herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser. "for his remarkable contribution to understanding the mechanisms of metal reoxidation in a metal-ceramic composite and their effect on the dimensional stability and reliability of a fuel cell device during operation, including the development and validation of a new robust microstructure for the device" Abstract: Global energy demand is exponentially increasing and fossil resources are limited. Fuel cells can play a major role in this general context as it converts chemical energy to electricity (and vice versa) with unrivalled high efficiency (even for small system <1 kW). Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) stand out with the highest potential for electrical and overall efficiency (using co-generation), wide fuel flexibility (from both fossils and renewables), and absence of corrosive liquids and noble metals.
