  2. Solid oxide fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_oxide_fuel_cell

    Scheme of a solid-oxide fuel cell. A solid oxide fuel cell (or SOFC) is an electrochemical conversion device that produces electricity directly from oxidizing a fuel. Fuel cells are characterized by their electrolyte material; the SOFC has a solid oxide or ceramic electrolyte.

  3. Glossary of fuel cell terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_fuel_cell_terms

    A solid oxide electrolyser cell (SOEC) is a solid oxide fuel cell set in regenerative mode for the electrolysis of water with a solid oxide, or ceramic, electrolyte to produce oxygen and hydrogen gas. Solid oxide fuel cell A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an electrochemical conversion device that produces electricity directly from oxidizing a ...

  4. Reversible solid oxide cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_solid_oxide_cell

    A reversible solid oxide cell (rSOC) is a solid-state electrochemical device that is operated alternatively as a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC). Similarly to SOFCs, rSOCs are made of a dense electrolyte sandwiched between two porous electrodes.

  5. Iron oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_oxide

    Iron is stored in many organisms in the form of ferritin, which is a ferrous oxide encased in a solubilizing protein sheath. [ 10 ] Species of bacteria , including Shewanella oneidensis , Geobacter sulfurreducens and Geobacter metallireducens , use iron oxides as terminal electron acceptors .

  6. Nuclear fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fuel

    Mixed oxide, or MOX fuel, is a blend of plutonium and natural or depleted uranium which behaves similarly (though not identically) to the enriched uranium feed for which most nuclear reactors were designed. MOX fuel is an alternative to low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel used in the light water reactors which predominate nuclear power generation.

  7. Inerting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inerting_system

    The most common such system is a fuel tank containing a combustible liquid, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, jet fuel, or rocket propellant. After being fully filled, and during use, there is a space above the fuel, called the ullage, that contains evaporated fuel mixed with air, which contains the oxygen necessary for combustion ...

  8. Monopropellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopropellant

    Nitrous oxide offers the advantages of being self-pressurizing and of being relatively non-toxic, with a specific impulse intermediate between hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine. [17] Nitrous oxide generates oxygen upon decomposition, and it is possible to blend it with fuels to form a monopropellant mixture with a specific impulse up to 325 s ...

  9. Integrated gasification fuel cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Gasification...

    Multiple types of solid fuel gasifiers are commercially available for coal, petcoke, and biomass gasification.Designs vary depending on fuel and intended application. As a result, they can differ in the composition of the syngas produced and the efficiency with which they convert coal energy content to syngas energy content - a performance parameter typically termed cold gas efficiency.
