A membrane electrode assembly structure of a fuel cell and a method of making the same are disclosed. The materials to be used include NiO, 8YSZ and 3YSZ that mixed into a slurry, formed into anodes by tape casting, sintered to form an anode substrate, and followed by forming a thin film of electrolyte layer on the surface of the anode substrate, forming a cathode layer on the outer surface of the electrolyte layer to obtain the membrane electrode assembly, which utilizes the 3YSZ having a tetragonal crystal phase to improve the toughness and mechanical strength of the material of NiO-8YSZ through calcination, thus the thickness of the anode substrate can be reduced, and the fuel gas diffusion path and resistance can be appropriately reduced to enhance the conductivity of the anode substrate.

A system for transferring heat by free convective flows of coolant inside a flexible container is disclosed. The flexible container is able to fully conform with the surface of base and heat sources, and the coolant filled inside the flexible container can easily create free convective flows in a narrow gap for continuously and efficiently remove the heat from the heat sources. A method for forming a heat transfer module is disclosed. The flexible container can be placed on the heat sources and then being inflated by the coolant to fully conform with the surface of base and heat sources. Alternatively, the inflated flexible container is being pressed to fully conform with the surface of base and heat sources during assembly of the heat transfer module.

A composite material type oxygen transport membrane and its preparation method are disclosed. The composite material that is an ionic-electronic mixed conducting material having high ionic conductivity is stirred into slurry and formed into a thin strip-shaped green tape substrate through tape casting to obtain a predetermined half-finished substrate, and then sintered to form the half-finished substrate into a conductive function type oxygen ion conducting substrate, followed by choosing small particle shaped highly catalyzed ionic-electronic mixed conducting material to be evenly adhered to at least one side surface of the conductive function type oxygen ion conducting substrate to form a reductive function type oxygen ion conducting layer. The reductive function type oxygen ion conducting layer and the conductive function type oxygen ion conducting substrate are then bonded to produce a composite material type oxygen transport membrane element.
