About Us

The Fuel Cell Store is the ultimate destination for all your fuel cell needs. We offer the widest selection in Gas Diffusion Layers, Gas Diffusion Electrodes, Catalysts and Membranes, as well as the newest products and technologies from renowned international vendors. Whether it is education, science, or leisure, we are committed to offering high quality fuel cell solutions. The Fuel Cell Store has also recently integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum into a wide variety of our products! Our goal here at The Fuel Cell Store is to encourage students, teachers, and hobbyists around the world to "go green" and learn and utilize sustainable, renewable energy sources.

History of Fuel Cell Store

Founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1999, the Fuel Cell Store is a pioneer of and the longest operating retail site of the fuel cell industry. We offer the most diverse and expansive fuel cell and renewable energy product line on the web, including products catering to educational, research and testing, and industrial applications. The Fuel Cell Store company relocated to College Station, Texas in November of 2014 to allow for faster and cheaper distribution throughout the USA and world.

Company Services

The Fuel Cell Store is committed to greener lifestyles, cleaner energy solutions, and environmentally sustainable commerce by providing for fuel cell and renewable technology education, research and implementation. Our retail objectives are to offer the most expansive selection of premium fuel cell and alternative energy products, provide excellent customer service, offer the fastest delivery time possible, and ensure that every customer is satisfied with their purchase. We are continually looking to improve our services so feedback from our customers and vendors are always welcome. The Fuel Cell Store is committed to being the premier online market place for all your fuel cell and renewable energy needs.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Components

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) are a type of fuel cell that use a solid oxide material as the electrolyte. SOFCs use a solid oxide electrolyte to conduct negative oxygen ions from the cathode to the anode. The electrochemical oxidation of the oxygen ions with hydrogen or carbon monoxide thus occurs on the anode side.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) operate at very high temperatures (500 - 1,000°C). At these temperatures, SOFCs do not require costly platinum catalyst, as is currently necessary for lower-temperature fuel cells such as Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), and are not vulnerable to carbon monoxide catalyst poisoning. However, vulnerability to sulfur poisoning has been widely observed and the sulfur must be removed before entering the cell through the use of adsorbent beds or other means.

SOFCs have a wide variety of applications from use as auxiliary power units in vehicles to stationary power generation with outputs from 100W to 2MW. Higher operating temperatures make SOFCs suitable candidates for application with heat engine energy recovery devices or combined heat and power, which increases overall fuel efficiency.
