Scandium used in Solid oxide Fuel Cell
Solid oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is a kind of electro chemical power generation device, which has been used in distributed regional power supply and has a wide application prospect in the fields of large-scale power generation and new energy vehicles.Dosed zirconia has been used in SOFC(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) for its excellent chemical stability and good oxygen ion conductivity.The stable zirconia system with scandium oxide has higher electrical conductivity, and the ability of oxygen ions to pass through is 1-2 times higher than that of other metal-doped zirconia system, and the volume can be reduced by 1/2 to 2/3 under the same output power condition.In 2013, Scandium Oxide Stabilized Zirconia Fuel Cell was commercially produced and applied in the United States and Japan.
