Operating temperatures remain too high for many applications and can increase cost, limiting use of SOFCs in the current energy market. New designs must also be able to operate on traditional fuels, such as Natural Gas (Methane), due to the current lack of a developed Hydrogen infrastructure. These challenges require material solutions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E In the proposed work, \u003Cem\u003Eoperando\u003C\/em\u003E spectroscopy will be used in conjunction with electrochemical and material characterization techniques to study new SOFC architectures designed to operate on methane below 600 \u00b0C. These devices include number of different reactions and materials working in concert, and therefore special attention is given to the interfaces present. By identifying the relationships between catalyst processing, structure, properties, and performance, this work will enable the rational design of SOFC catalysts and engineered \u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Structure-Property Relationships in Low Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Catalysts and Anode-Catalyst Interfaces"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2016-06-03 08:12:57","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:17:58","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-06-08T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-06-08T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-06-08T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-06-08 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-06-08 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-06-08 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
