It achieves a power density (PD) of 0.25 W/cm2 at 0.8 V, reaching about 90% of that is fueled by H2. And the cell has been operated for more than 120 h by the direct internal reforming of methanol. The durability and apparent advantage for using humidified methanol may lead to widespread applications by direct internal reforming method for this new designed SOFC in the future. ? 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLCCathodes; Durability; Methanol; Methanol fuels; Yttria stabilized zirconia; Yttrium metallography; Direct internal reforming; Double sided; Flat tube; Ni-YSZ anode-supported; Power densities; Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC)Durability of direct internal reforming of methanol as fuel for solid oxide fuel cell with double-sided cathodesjournal article10.1016/j.ijhydene.2019.12.2222-s2.0-85078457467
