Abstract

The performance behavior of solid oxide fuel cell using $H_2$ and CO as fuels was investigated. The power densities and impedance results showed a little variation as the ratio of $H_2$ and CO changed. However, when the pure CO was used as a fuel, area specific resistance (ASR), especially low frequency region, was increased. This might be due to carbon deposition on anode. The maximum power density was 60% lower using CO than using $H_2$. Carbon deposition reduced after constant current was applied. The SOFC performance was recovered from the carbon deposition after applying constant current during 100h.
