If the fuel is a light hydrocarbon, for example, methane, another function of the anode is to act as a catalyst for steam reforming the fuel into hydrogen. This provides another operational benefit to the fuel cell stack because the reforming reaction is endothermic, which cools the stack internally.
Electro-chemical reaction Diagram of PEM MEA. A membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is an assembled stack of proton-exchange membranes (PEM) or alkali anion exchange membrane (AAEM), catalyst and flat plate electrode used in fuel cells and electrolyzers. [1] [2]

Demonstration model of a direct methanol fuel cell (black layered cube) in its enclosure Scheme of a proton-conducting fuel cell. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen) [1] into electricity through a pair of redox reactions. [2]
SOEC 60 cell stack. A solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) is a solid oxide fuel cell that runs in regenerative mode to achieve the electrolysis of water (and/or carbon dioxide) [1] by using a solid oxide, or ceramic, electrolyte to produce hydrogen gas [2] (and/or carbon monoxide) and oxygen.
Fuel Cell Diagram. Note: Electrolyte can be a polymer or solid oxide. A fuel cell consists of an electrolyte which is placed in between two electrodes – the cathode and the anode. In the simplest case, hydrogen gas passes over the cathode, where it is decomposed into hydrogen protons and electrons.
Example of cycling between fuel and exhaust in the C-H-O ternary diagram. One useful way to depict the cycling between SOFC and SOEC mode of the rSOC operation with carbonaceous reactants is the C-H-O ternary diagram. [6] Each point in the diagram represents a gas mixture with a different number of carbon, hydrogen or oxygen atoms.
