Need for SOFC
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are the most efficient devices invented for conversion of chemical fuels directly into electrical power. Originally the basic ideas and materials were proposed by Nernst and his colleagues in Gottingen at the end of the nineteenth century and considerable advances in theory and experiment are still being made over 100 years later.In simple words, SOFCs contains a solid oxide electrolyte made from a ceramic such as Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) which acts as a conductor of oxide ions at temperatures from 600 to 1000°C. This ceramic material allows oxygen atoms to be reduced on its porous cathode surface by electrons, thu sbeing converted into oxide ions, which are then transported through the ceramic body to a fuel-rich porous anode zone where the oxide ions can react, say with hydrogen, giving up electrons to an external circuit. Only five components are needed to put such a cell together: electrolyte, anode,cathode and two ...
Re-Post-My Department and our endeavors
The Department was established in the year 1970 under the Faculty of Science. Dr. K. S. Viswanathan, eminent theoretical Physicist and student of Nobel Laureate Sir C. V. Raman, was the founder Head of the department. The Department started functioning with a UGC sponsored Post M.Sc Diploma Course in Space Physics, with 7 students and a few research scholars. From the modest beginning, it has grown into one of the largest and most bustling centres of academic activity. The department has received support from DST under the FIST programme. At present the department offers M.Sc., M. Phil and Ph.D programmes in Physics. Our Endeavors The current focus of my research is on understanding and exploiting the dynamics of oxide ion conductivity of complex ceramic oxides. In particular, I am interested in development of dynamics of oxygen ions at micro scales of ceramic oxides. At small scales, microstructures variations produce fantastic tailor made prop...
