The co-pressure method is utilized to prepare a button-type porous electrolyte-containing solid oxide fuel cell(P-SOFC)with a porosity of about 10%.Electrochemical tests are conducted on P-SOFC and ordinary SOFC,respectively at 700℃.Results show that the electrochemical performance attenuation degree and impedance increase degree of P-SOFC during operation are 3/5 and 1/5 respectively that of ordinary SOFC.P-SOFC can maintain a potential as high as 0.85 V after 8 hours of long-term operation.The ordinary SOFC has more concentrated carbon element distribution than P-SOFC.It can be seen that a porous electrolyte structure can improve the sustainability and stability of battery discharge.This structure increases the anti-carbon deposition performance of the battery through changing the ratio of oxygen to carbon at anode,allowing the battery to maintain stable power output for a long time in a methane atmosphere.
