We develop the materials and also an assessment technologies for of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
We especially focus on the following issues of SOFCs:
1) Analysis of degradation mechanism
2) Description of reaction mechanisms
3) Being information hub for industrial developers and academicians.
Especially the improvement of the stability and the reliability of SOFC systems is our recent task. We cooperate with several SOFC stack makers and laboratories of many Universities to be the information hub for various projects.
Recent research topics of the group is here.
