An analytical equation is derived for total triple phase boundary length per unit volume (L-TPB) in an isotropic uniform random microstructure of LSM/YSZ composite cathode. The equation is applicable to YSZ and LSM particles of any convex shapes and size distributions. The equation explicitly relates L-TPB to the shapes, mean sizes, coefficient of variation (a measure of the spread in a size distribution) and skewness of YSZ and LSM particle populations, and volume fractions of YSZ, LSM, and porosity. The equation is verified using available experimental data, and compared with the results of earlier simulations and models. The parametric analysis reveals that (1) non-equiaxed plate-like, flake-like, and needle-like YSZ and LSM particle shapes can yield substantially higher L-TPB: (2) mono-sized YSZ and LSM powders lead to higher L-TPB as compared to the powders having size distributions with large coefficient of variation; (3) L-TPB is inversely proportional to the mean sizes of YSZ and LSM particles; (4) high value of L-TPB is obtained at the lowest porosity volume fraction that permits sufficient connectivity of the pores for gas permeability; and (5) L-TPB is not sensitive to the relative proportion of YSZ and LSM phases in the regime of interest in composite cathode applications.
