Abstract

Solid oxide fuel cells arose as alternatives for clean power generation that are able to convert chemical fuels into electric power. One of the chemical fuel candidates to be used with this kind of power generation device is ethanol, the importance of which for the Brazilian energetic matrix is well-known. In this project, the student work will focus on the study of the process of breaking the ethanol molecule onto the Ni surface, being the anode of the fuel cell made of this material. To do so, the student will be trained to perform ab initio calculations. (AU)
