A two-dimensional numerical model to study the performance of anode-supported flat-tube solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) far the cross section of the cell in the flow direction of the fuel and air flows is developed. In this model a mass and charge balance, Maxwell-Stefan equation as well as the momentum equation by using, Darcy's law are applied in differential form. The finite element method using FEMLAB commercial software is used for meshing, discritization and solving the system of coupled differential equations. The current density distribution and fuel consumption as well as water production are analyzed. Experimental data is used to verify a predicted voltage-current density and power density versus current density to judge on the model accuracy.

현재 중온의 고체산화물 연료전지를 위해 다양한 전해질에 대한 연구되었으며 1994년 Ishihara et al.에서 1074K의 온도에서 높은 이온전도도를 갖는 페록스카이 구조를 갖는 LSGM 물질을 발표하였다. Sr과 Mg을 도핑한 Lanthanum gallate는 이온전도도가 1073K에서 0.14S/cm로 YSZ의 5배로 높은 이온전도도를 갖고 있으며 산화환경에서부터 환원환경에서 화학적으로 안정한 특성을 갖고 있다. 또한 LSGM 전해질은 넓은 산소 농도범위에서 안정적인 특성을 갖는 장점을 갖고 있다. 그러나 LSGM은 가장 널리 사용되는 연료극의 Ni 촉매와 고온 소결시 상호확산현상에 의한 2차상을 생성시켜 성능 저감의 원인으로 그 해결방안이 요원한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 LSGM 전해질에 LSGM scaffold를 형성하고 형성된 scaffold에 연료극 촉매 solution을 infiltration 시켜 저온에서 anode를 형성하여 그 성능을 연구하였다.

A two-dimensional model for anode-supported IT-SOFCs is proposed in order to accurately consider the heat and mass transport processes with a fully-developed axial velocity profile in channel flow. A comprehensive micro model is employed to describe the electrochemical reaction in anode and cathode of SOFCs. This paper investigates the effects of operational parameters (inlet temperature, the amount of flow rate, and air flow rate) including flow configurations (co-flow and counter-flow) on the current density and temperature distributions in the IT-SOFCs.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)-based micro tubular SOFC single cells were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process. Stable slurries for the EPD process were prepared by adding phosphate ester (PE) as a dispersant in order to control the pH, conductivity, and zeta-potential. NiO-YSZ anode support, NiO-YSZ anode functional layer (AFL), and YSZ electrolyte were consecutively deposited on a graphite rod using the EPD process; materials were then co-sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. The thickness of the deposited layer increased with increasing of the applied voltage and the deposition time. A YSZ-based micro tubular single cell fabricated by the EPD process exhibited a maximum power density of $0.3W/cm^2$ at $750^{\circ}C$.

The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has attracted great deal of attention due to its high electrical efficiency, high waste-heat utilization, fuel flexibility, and application versatility. However, SOFC technology is still not matured enough to fulfill the practical requirements for commercialization. Therefore, all the research and development activities are mainly focused on a development of practically viable SOFCs with higher performance and better reliability. We were successful in fabricating high-performance anode-supported unit cells by employing hierarchically controlled multi-layered electrodes for both structural reliability and high performance. In addition, a novel composite sealing gasket made it possible to achieve excellent sealing integrity even with considerable surface irregularities in a multi-cell planar arrayed stack.
