Samaria-doped Ceria Modified Ni/YSZ Anode for Direct Methane Fuel in Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells by Impregnation Method

以NiO和8%(摩尔分数)氧化钇稳定的氧化锆为原料,采用注凝成型工艺制备了管状固体氧化物燃料电池阳极支撑体．用离子浸渍法对阳极支撑体进行表面修饰．用电化学工作站测单电池交流阻抗和输出性能并且用化学气相色谱仪对电池尾气进行分析．测试结果表明修饰后的阳极在通甲烷的情况下出现了一定程度的积炭,但是积炭现象在一定的测试时间内达到平衡,没有对电池造成破坏,并且显著地提高了电池阳极的电化学性能．单电池在通入氢气和甲烷的情况下最大输出功率密度分别达到了225和400 mW/cm²．     

固体氧化物燃料电池堆多物理场耦合模拟的高效电化学-传质耦合算法

A multiphysics model for a production scale planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack is important for the SOFC technology, but usually requires an unpractical amount of computing resource. The major cause for the huge computing resource requirement is identified as the need to solve the cathode O₂ transport and the associated electrochemistry. To overcome the technical obstacle, an analytical model for solving the O₂ transport and its coupling with the electrochemistry is derived. The analytical model is used to greatly reduce the numerical mesh complexity of a multiphysics model. Numerical test shows that the analytical approximation is highly accurate and stable. A multiphysics numerical modeling tool taking advantage of the analytical solution is then developed through Fluent®. The numerical efficiency and stability of this modeling tool are further demonstrated by simulating a 30-cell stack with a production scale cell size. Detailed information about the stack performance is revealed and brie y discussed. The multiphysics modeling tool can be used to guide the stack design and select the operating parameters.
