Note MEA: membrane–electrode assembly Fig 2 picture of single cell /siglecell.html Fig 3 SOFC stack (Robert Kee 2007) Planar SOFC geometry Principle of SOFC Fig 4 SOFC Electrochemical Principle (Robert Kee 2007) Single cell Performance Numerous groups have reported over the years that single cells with optimized materials can yield power densities on the order of 1W/cm2 or higher at the operating temperature of 700–800 ?C . The Performance of single cell and stack cell Stack Performance The recently reported best performance of SOFC stacks with metallic bipolar plate current collectors is substantially below that for the single cell. Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 146 (1) 69-78 (1999) The reasons of the lowered cell performance in the stack Fig5 Explanation of additional losses due to current collector: (a) single-cell configuration with metallic meshes (b) stack-cell configuration with interconnect ribs. (Dong Hyup Jeon) The comparison of single cell performance and stack cell performance The experimental stack dchannel =4.3mm drib = 0.7mm. Optimization stack dchannel =1.58mm drib = 0.42mm. S. Liu et al. / Journal of Power Sources 194 (2009) 854–863 The output current density of optimization stack cell for the operating voltage of 0.7V is expected to be 0.37Acm-2, an increase of about 30% over the result of 0.29Acm-2 for the experimental stack cell. Distributions of the TPB current density, H2 and O2 molar fractions: (a) dpitch =2mm drib = 0.8 mm; drib/dpitch=0.4 Average current density 0.51 A/cm2 (b) dpitch =5mm drib = 2mm. drib/dpitch=0.4 Average current density 0.39 A/cm2 The results (0.51-0.39)/0.39=30
