Establishment and take-off of the Swiss SOFC Consortium SOF-CH

Rapport final (Anglais)

The objective of this project is the enabling of the Swiss SOFC Consortium, SOF-CH, that brings together all the Swiss actors in the field of SOFC, namely the academics, Empa-HLK, EPFL-LENI, ETHZ-NIM and ZHAW-ICP (formerly ZHW-CCP) as well as the industries, Hexis and HTceramix. SOF-CH, recognized as a pre-competitive research project by both industries, allows to bundle all the research resources available. It allowed to define 5 work packages, 3 being pre-financed by the SFOE in the frame of this preliminary project: WP 1, concentrate on the redox stability of the state of the art anodes in SOFC, WP 2 on the cathode durability and WP 5.1 on the thermo-mechanical properties measurements, simulations and analyses of all components in the stack. The primary objective of SOF-CH is the enhancement of the lifetime of SOFC stacks, which is hindering the commercial introduction of the technology. The SOF-CH project is thus a key element for establishing the SOFC fuel cell business.
