Abstract

The invention discloses a rectangular electrode/electrolyte interface based SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) simulation method. The method comprises the following steps: S01. assuming a model; S02. setting geometric objects of the model; S03. building a two-dimensional numerical model by utilizing COMSOL software through consideration of transmission equations of electrons, ions and gases in anode/electrolyte/cathode units and electrochemical reaction kinetics; S04. comparing the performances and distribution of internal physical fields of cells with rectangular anode/electrolyte interfaces in different gaps and cells with plane interfaces, analyzing the results and drawing stimulation conclusions. The method has the beneficial effects that the anode-supported SOFCs with electrolyte thickness of 10mu m are taken as the objects of study, the model is built by using COMSOL through consideration of the transmission equations of electrons, ions and gases in the anode/electrolyte/cathode units and electrochemical reaction kinetics, the current-voltage curve of the monocell with a rectangular interface with gap thickness of 100mu m is obviously better than the current-voltage curves of the cells with plane interfaces, and the maximum power density of the monocell can be increased to 48%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a simulation method for an SOFC rectangular electrode electrolyte interface. Background technique [0002] A solid oxide fuel cell (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, or SOFC) is a fuel cell with a completely solid-state structure that operates in a high-temperature environment, and it is also one of the five currently recognized fuel cells. Compared with other current energy generating devices, it has the following significant advantages: (1) SOFC operating temperature can reach up to 1000°C, and the system itself has high energy conversion efficiency. If heat recovery technology is used for combined heat and power generation, in such a system, its total efficiency can reach 70%-80%, which is the highest among all power generation technologies. (2) SOFC has strong fuel flexibility. It can use the internal reforming reaction of hydrocarbons inside the battery (a series of complex chem...
