NexTech Materials, Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has received funding for three unrelated projects based on its advanced SOFC planar stack technology. Most recently, the Department of Energy, through its SECA program, selected NexTech to develop its planar FlexCellTM SOFC technology for large scale stationary power systems. NexTech has also been selected by the U.S. Navy for two development projects. One is to design a fuel cell system for underwater vehicle applications and the other is to develop stack technology for use in a land based APU.
NexTech has been developing advanced planar SOFC stack technology based on its FlexCellTM concept under support of the Air Force, State of Ohio and private funding for the past four years. The unique electrolyte-supported design, combined with advanced anode and cathode systems, delivers high power density, unparalleled sulfur tolerance, and scalability to large areas.
"We are very pleased to have our technology selected for further development by multiple agencies. The rigorous technical evaluation that our approaches have successfully passed is a strong validation of our technology," says Bill Dawson, President and CEO.
