SOFC Modeling at the Cell Scale including Hydorgen and Carbon Monoxide as Electrochemically Active Fuels
Författare
Summary, in English
The activation polarization in the electrodes and the ohmic polarization due to ion transport in the YSZ material are found to be the major part of the potential losses. The activation polarization is the most significant and it is smaller within the cathode compared to the anode for this study. The ion current density and the activation polarization are the highest at the electrolyte-electrode interface and decrease rapidly within the electrodes as the distance from the interface increases. However, the ohmic polarization by ion transfer increases for the positions away from the interface. The addition of the electrochemical reaction with CO as fuel increases the current density. It is concluded that the temperature and current density are strongly integrated and when any of them is changed, the other follows, and the change is accelerated.
