Single cell performance and durability
Tests for measuring iV curve and durability have been conducted at VTT Technical Research Centre in Helsinki, Finland. Synthetic reformate in single cell test had the following composition: 15% CH4, 26% CO2, 29%H2, 30%H2O.
A presentation showing additional test data can be found here: Elcogen_IT-SOFC.Tests_dif._FU.pdf
Available shapes and sizes
As we are using tape-casting and screen-printing, then various shapes and sizes can be made. We start from button cells and go up to maximum of 20x20cm for one cell. Different shapes and sizes in between these can easily be made. To make sure your requirement can be fulfilled, please contact us and our production team will find the best solution for you.
Production facilities
Our small-series production facility has been set up in Tallinn, Estonia. We have paste manufacturing laboratory and all necessary tape-cast, screen-print, firing and quality-control machinery. Our SOFC single cell technology is designed so that it is easily to scale up to larger output quantities. Our cells are produced entirely in-house starting from powders.
