The Potts Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model, proven to be a robust tool to study all stages of sintering process, is an ideal tool to analyze the microstructure evolution of electrodes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Due to the nature of this model, the input parameters of KMC simulations such as simulation temperatures and attempt frequencies are difficult to identify. We propose a rigorous and efficient approach to facilitate the input parameter calibration process using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The trained ANN reduces drastically the number of trial-and-error of KMC simulations. The KMC simulation using the calibrated input parameters predicts the microstructures of a La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 cathode material during sintering, showing both qualitative and quantitative congruence with real 3D microstructures obtained by focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) reconstruction.
