Electrolysis – a voltage has increased from 34.7 V at ‐20 A to 36.5 V at 17.5 A when H2O is replaced with CO2. ‐ increase can neither be explained by differences in temperature, reactant composition nor reactant utilisation thus it is a result of slower reaction rates for CO than for Hreactant utilisation, thus it is a result of slower reaction rates for CO than for H2.
‐ using 28.8 V as OCV, the area specific resistance (ASR) increased from 1.25 Ω⋅cm2 to 1.86 Ω⋅cm2, giving an increase of 0.6 Ω⋅cm2.
Fuel cell mode ‐ performed at 23.3 V and 7.0 A, which is significantly lower than during hydrogen operation, 25.5 V and 10 A.
‐ Calculation of theoretical OCV for the different fuel composition gives 30.2 V for 80 % H2in steam while only 27 8 V for 40 % CO in CO Hence calculating the ASR values give us a value of 2 0in steam while only 27.8 V for 40 % CO in CO2. Hence, calculating the ASR values give us a value of 2.0 Ω⋅cm2 for H2 operation and 2.6 Ω⋅cm2 for CO operation. This represents exactly the same increase as observed during electrolysis mode
