Biogas as a fuel for solid oxide fuel cells and synthesis gas production: effects of ceria-doping and hydrogen sulfide on the performance of nickel-based anode materials.

This was an invited paper in a special themed issue on ‘Contributions of inorganic chemistry to energy research’ which builds on our pioneering work into the potential use of waste biogas for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). This paper provides the basis for waste biogas, an environmental pollutant which is currently seriously underutilised, to be efficiently utilised in an SOFC for energy production or converted into useful chemical feedstocks. This work led to a major multidisciplinary RCUK (EPSRC EP/I037059/1) UK-India collaborative grant led by Keele University, involving the Universities of Birmingham, Loughborough and IIT Madras, Delhi and Hyderabad.
