报告简介：
To realize the solid oxide fuel cells, it becomes essential to achieve high efficiency, low cost, and long durability as the SOFC stack development. Personal experiences on such topics will be reported in comparison with other fuel cells/thermal engines.
固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC）是一种可将化学能直接转化成电能的全固态化学发电装置。因发电效率高，清洁无污染，可使用多样燃料，可小规模分散型电站布置等优点，已成为缓解世界范围的能源危机和环境污染的，极具应用前景的新一代绿色能源。高效率，低成本，长寿命是SOFC真正产业化的关键。本次报告主要对比其他种类燃料电池/热机，从基础上讲解SOFC所占优势，并根据2005年以来日本NDEO项目成果，阐述高效率，低成本，长寿命SOFC的发展历程，及有待解决的科学问题。
报告人简介：
HARUMI YOKOKAWA（横川晴美）is an emeritus professor of the University of Tokyo, and an emeritus researcher of National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan. He served as president of the SOFC Society of Japan. He was also a member of the executing committee of the High Temperature Materials Division of the Electrochemical Society (USA).
Prof. Yokokawareceived his Doctor degrees of Engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan. He joined the National Chemical Laboratory for Industry (NCLI) in 1977, and was a research associate in James Franck Institute of the University of Chicago (1978-1980). He became a Senior Researcher in NCLI in 1982.In 1995, he became a group leader of the Energy-related group in NIMC (Renamed and united into the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) from 2001). From 2001 to 2004, he served as the deputy director and as a group leader of the Fuel Cells group of the Energy Electronics Institute, AIST. From 2004-2009, he served as the principal research scientist and the group leader of the Fuel Cell group of the Energy Technology Research Institute in AIST. After retirement from AIST, he continued to act as the project leader of NEDO SOFC project as invited research scientist. For 2009-2011, he served as professor in the Advanced Research Laboratories in Tokyo City University, and for 2014-2018, he was appointed as project professor in Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo.Thus, for 13 years, he acted as the project leader of the NEDO projects on the SOFC durability and coordinated the cooperation among industries, public institutes and universities.
Prof. Yokokawa’s main interest is in applications of thermodynamics to high temperature processes. With S. Yamauchi, he made efforts in constructing the thermodynamic database and developing related software to facilitate the thermodynamic analysis on practical materials problems. He has written about 300 papers. Prof. Yokokawa has received many scientific awards, such as award by Minister of Science and Technology Agency (1989），Outstanding achievement award from the High Temperature Materials Division of the Electrochemical Society（2002），Award by the Society of Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis（2006），Fuel Cell Seminar & Exposition Awards for exceptional work in the field of fuel cell technologies（2011），Fuel Cell Development Information Center Awards in Science (2018), Christian Friedrich Shoenbein Medal of Honor in recognition of the distinguished contributions to the science and technology of solid oxide fuel cells, from the European Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Forum (2018) .
