This study explores strategies to develop highly efficient direct carbon fuel cells (DCFCs) by combining a solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with a catalyst-aided carbon-gasification process. This system employs Cu/CeO₂ composites as both anodic electrodes and carbon additives in a cell of the type: carbon|Cu-CeO₂/YSZ/Ag|air. The study investigates the impact on in situ carbon-gasification and DCFC performance characteristics of catalyst addition and variation in the carrier gas used (inert He versus reactive CO₂). The results indicate that cell performance is significantly improved by infusing the catalyst into the carbon feedstock and by employing CO₂ as the carrier gas. At 800 ℃, the maximum power output is enhanced by approximately 40% and 230% for carbon/CO₂ and carbon/catalyst/CO₂ systems, respectively, compared with that of the carbon/He configuration. The increase observed when employing the catalyst and CO₂ as the carrier gas can be primarily attributed to the pronounced effect of the catalyst on carbon-gasification through the reverse-Boudouard reaction, and the subsequent in situ electro-oxidation of CO at the anode three-phase boundary.
