Microstructural Characterisation of SOFC Electrodes: Observations and Simulations
SOFC electrodes are typically porous composite materials bringing ionic, electronic and pore phases into intimate contact. These electrodes must fulfill a broad range of criteria from diffusion and electrocatalysis to mechanical support and redox tolerance. Historically design and optimisation have been largely empirical and characterisation of electrode microstructures at sub-micron length sca...
متن کاملInvestigation of Coral-Like Cu2O Nano/Microstructures as Counter Electrodes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
In this study, a chemical oxidation method was employed to fabricate coral-like Cu2O nano/microstructures on Cu foils as counter electrodes (CEs) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The Cu2O nano/microstructures were prepared at various sintering temperatures (400, 500, 600 and 700 °C) to investigate the influences of the sintering temperature on the DSSC characteristics. First, the Cu foil...
متن کاملAnalysis and Correction of Dynamic Geometric Misalignment for Nano-Scale Computed Tomography at BSRF
Due to its high spatial resolution, synchrotron radiation x-ray nano-scale computed tomography (nano-CT) is sensitive to misalignments in scanning geometry, which occurs quite frequently because of mechanical errors in manufacturing and assembly or from thermal expansion during the time-consuming scanning. Misalignments degrade the imaging results by imposing artifacts on the nano-CT slices. In...
متن کاملA New Numerical Study Method of Thermal Stress Distribution and Tortuosity Effectiveness in an Anode Porous Electrode for a Planar Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
A fuel cell is an electro-chemical tool capable of converting chemical energy into electricity. High operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cell, between 700oC to 1000oC, causes thermal stress. Thermal stress causes gas escape, structure variability and cease operation of the SOFC before its lifetime.The purpose of the current paper is to present a method that predicts ...
متن کاملIn-situ X-ray nano-CT System for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells under Operating Conditions
We developed two types of in-situ three-dimensional imaging systems on the basis of full-field transmission X-ray computed tomography (XCT) methods for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) under operating conditions at beamline BL36XU at SPring-8. One was for a wide field of view (more than 500 μm) to obtain the whole membrane electrode assembly (MEA) images, and the other was for nano spatia...
