NASA's GRC and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) signed a Space Act Agreement to collaborate in developing sealing technologies for the stacks of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), groups of thin ceramic cells separated by gas seals. A combustion-free electrochemical process generates electricity between these thin cells. NASA had been investigating SOFC technology to meet the need for high-efficiency, low-emission power capabilities for aviation and space applications. Prabhakar Singh, Director of PNNL Fuel Cell Development, commented that the agreement combined the two agencies' complementary research~PNNL's work in glass seals and NASA's expertise in glass and glass-ceramic composites.
