Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) offer numerous advantages in terms of high efficiency and clean electrochemcial energy conversion devices. However, owing to operation temperature, this technology is restricted stationary applications leads components degradation long-term stability issues. The development new design their modifications for improving the electrochemical performance at intermediat...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can generate electricity through an electrochemical conversion of the chemical energy fuels including hydrogen, hydrocarbons, and biogas because high operation temperatures. Ammonia has recently been considered as a promising hydrogen carrier that is relatively convenient to store transport be decomposed into nitrogen with no carbon emission via catalytic cracking...

A key component of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is the interconnect, which connects individual fuel cells in series to form cell stack reach desired electrical potential. The interconnect exposed air and parallel, these so-called dual-atmosphere conditions give rise especially severe corrosion on air-side. This work investigates coatings mitigate this effect. Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) ...

A two dimensional numerical model of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with electrode functional layers is presented. The model incorporates the partial differential equations for mass transport, electric conduction and electrochemical reactions in the electrode functional layers, the anode support layer, the cathode current collection layer and at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces. A dusty gas...

High-temperature fuel cells are a promising technology due to their high energy efficiency and low environmental impacts compared conventional engines. Nevertheless, they have limited lifetime which reduces the use few application fields. Among them, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) had recent development at industrial level in two possible configurations: anode- electrolyte-supported design. Con...
