Description Description: This thesis is performed in collaboration between Politecnico di Torino (Italy) and the research institute ENEA Casaccia (Rome) and plans to be carried out at ENEA. The thesis is expected to start in September-October 2024 and the experimental campaign in ENEA will last about 4-5 months.
Experimental testing on button cells fed by bio-syngas will be carried out. Through a series of tests under various operating conditions, the aim of the study is the evaluation of the temporal evolution of the processes determining the overall performances. Degradation processes will be monitored and studied to understand how these contaminants impact SOFC performance. The goal is to understand the mechanisms of degradation and determine the tolerable limits of contaminants.
Location: ENEA Casaccia, Roma
Required skills Skills required: Fuel cells, curiosity and desire to learn lab skills, Matlab, Autonomy attitude, English writing skills.
