Franklin Fuel Cells proposes to develop and demonstrate an SOFC anode design having the capability of operating on high sulfur content reformate fuels. Its current cell design utilizing a copper / ceria based anode has demonstrated the capability to operate without poisoning on hydrogen fuel containing up to 450 ppmw H2S at 800C. In this project, we propose to examine the factors that affect sulfur poisoning, improve the anode formulation, if necessary, and demonstrate long term operation on high sulfur reformates under conditions typical for an SOFC stack / system.
