The degradation behavior of 8-hydroxyquinoleine sulfate (8-HQS), a model molecule of quinolines, was studied in an aqueous medium by electro-Fenton process using a carbon felt cathode and a platinum anode. The great oxidation ability of this process is due to a large production of hydroxyl radical (OH) by electrochemically induced Fenton’s reagent (H2O2, Fe2+). Hydroxyl radicals are very powerful oxidizing agents which react on organics up to complete mineralization. A factorial experimental design was used for determining the operating parameters on the degradation of 8-HQS in an aqueous medium. The results showed that the current intensity and the initial concentration …

Based on the cell operating conditions, the material factors which influence the cell performance of SOFC including the chemical stability of materials at solid-gas interface in redox atmosphere, the diffusion and reaction between the interface of solid-solid materials, and degradation caused by the external chemical substances brought into the cells at triple phase boundary are mainly analyzed. Given that under the current state of the research it is urgent to explore the material factors on degradation of cell performance to meet demands in SOFC applications.
