摘要
This study presents an efficient method to convert methane into valuable olefins using a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) membrane reactor. Methane, abundant in natural and shale gas, serves as a sustainable feedstock due to its favorable carbon-hydrogen ratio. The SOFC membrane reactor eliminates costly air separation units and safety risks associated with explosive methane-oxygen mixtures. A planar SOFC stack achieves over 30 % methane conversion, 40 % ethylene selectivity, and power generation capabilities. Optimization with mixedconducting ceramics enhances electrical performance without compromising catalytic activity. The stack's scalability is demonstrated, with the 5-cell configuration surpassing the 2-cell setup. This innovative approach offers a sustainable solution to methane waste, producing high-value chemicals while reducing environmental impact.
