Abstract
Aid of a metallic overlayer to nickel/yttrium-stabilized-zirconia (Ni/YSZ) anode is investigated in Direct Methane Fuel Cell. Copper modified nickel metallic overlayer shows high activity for fuel cell performance and good stability to coking in methane atmosphere. The copper-nickel overlayer provides advantages of material compatibility with the substrate and catalytic function on copper-modified nickel sites. The results suggest that the overlayer is effective for decomposition of methane and tolerant to coking by removal of deposited carbon via oxidation and gasification reaction.
