Dusty Gas Model for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Fuel Electrode

This model applies the Dusty Gas Model simulate multi-component species transport in SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) anodes which considers the pressure gradient across the fuel electrode. This studyhas been verified with the analytical solution for different fuel electrode thicknesses and with literature values. The model was developed using the VoronoiFVM platform in Julia which is a built in implicit and semi implicit solver that integrates electrochemical behavior, microstructural effects, and transient analysis for accurate prediction of species transport under varying conditions.

3D Multiphysics Model for Large Scale Planar Cell: Inductance Investigation in Impedance Analysis

Developed a comprehensive 3D multiphysics model to analyze impedance behavior in large-scale planar Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs). The model investigates how impedance varies across operating conditions and cell components, with a particular focus on inductive loops or negative capacitance at the air electrode. It was found that the Inductive loop disappears in the low-frequency zone when the activation overpotential or faradic current is not temperature-dependent. These findings offer new insights into SOFC impedance behavior.
