A comprehensive review of solid oxide fuel cells operating on various promising alternative fuels

Qidong Xu et al.

Summary: This article comprehensively reviews the electrochemical performances and stabilities of SOFCs operating on various fuels. Although comparable power densities to hydrogen were frequently obtained, degradation problems induced by these fuels influence the long-term stable operation of SOFCs. Potential strategies from three perspectives of thermodynamics, kinetics and structure are proposed to solve degradation issues. The remaining challenges and future prospects of SOFCs fed by each fuel are separately elaborated.

New interconnector designs for electrical performance enhancement of solid oxide fuel cells: A 3D modelling study

Meiting Guo et al.

Summary: This study proposes several unconventional interconnector (IC) designs for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack and studies them numerically. Compared with traditional designs, the new IC design can achieve a more uniform distribution of oxygen in the SOFC cathode, leading to improved performance. This improvement can be attributed to the discrete distribution of ribs, reduction of rib size, and spatial layout arrangement of discrete ribs.

Ammonia as an effective hydrogen carrier and a clean fuel for solid oxide fuel cells

Zhijian Wan et al.

Summary: Ammonia is increasingly recognized as a clean fuel due to its zero-carbon characteristics and high hydrogen content. Research has shown that Ni-based catalysts are considered more cost-effective and sustainable alternatives to Ru-based catalysts for ammonia decomposition. Additionally, feeding SOFCs with pre-decomposed ammonia has been identified as a promising method to mitigate anode degradation and improve cell stability.

Parametric study of kW-class solid oxide fuel cell stacks fueled by hydrogen and methane with fully multiphysical coupling model

Meiting Guo et al.

Summary: Multiphysics models are important for the design and optimization of solid oxide fuel cells, with computational efficiency improved by symmetry utilization and grid optimization. The model's predictive power is tested against experimental data, and parametric studies show advantages of CH4 and H-2 as fuels for different performance characteristics in kW-class stacks. Insufficient air supply can cause high thermal gradient, and fuel uniformity depends critically on stack design.
