基于我国能源与环境的严峻状况,中国科学技术大学(USTC)固体化学与无机膜研究所申办了第97次香山科学会议(1998年6月),以“新型固体燃料电池”为主题,确立了我国固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)的正确研发路线.数十名师生十年来的勤奋、创新性工作,取得了丰硕成果,把SOFC推向了高性能陶瓷膜燃料电池(CMFC)新阶段.特别是,基于实用化导向与“逆主流思考”,研究发展了相应关键材料和低成本制造技术,为其实用化、产业化奠定了基础.通过这一研究历程的回顾和对这种本世纪高效绿色能源的前景展望,作为向中国科学技术大学50周年校庆的献礼.
Concerning the severe situation in the energy sources and environments in China, the USTC Lab. for Solid State Chemistry and Inorganic Membranes sponsored the 97th Xiangshan Scientific Conference (June, 1998)on New Solid Fuel Cells,at which a right route for R & D of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) was proposed. The innovative efforts and achievements made by the tens of faculty members and students in the Lab. advanced SOFCs to a new stage of ceramic membrane fuel cells (CMFCs). Particularly, based on the "counter-main stream" considerations for the development of practical applications key materials and low cost fabrication techniques have been studied and developed in order to provide the basis for their commercialization. As a dedication to the 50th anniversary of the founding of the University of Science and Technology of China this article reviews the research activities and progress in the past ten years and offers an outlook on this high efficiency and green energy source of the 21st Century.
