Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are expected to be a future power source. Simulation analyses of SOFCs can help to understand well the interactive functions among the multiphysics phenomena in the SOFC system. A three-dimensional multiphysics finite-element model was used to simulate the performance of a half-cell SOFC with (Pr0.7Sr0.3)MnO3±δ∕8mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) composite cathode on one side of the 8YSZ electrolyte before and after aging. Multiphysics phenomena in the SOFC were considered in the modeling. The current/voltage curves simulated matched the experimental data before and after aging. The average current density was found to have a linear relationship to the logarithm of the effective exchange current density. The effect of the effective ionic conductivity of the composite cathode was more apparent for small total effective ionic conductivity values than for large ones.

Composites consisting of silver and yttria-stabilized bismuth oxide (YSB) were fabricated and investigated as cathodes for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with thin electrolyte films of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The films were deposited using spin coating with YSZ suspension. Comparison of YSB-Ag and conventional La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSM) based cathodes showed that the YSB-Ag composite has better electrochemical performance; Interfacial polarization resistance of YSB-Ag cathode is 0.13 Ωcm2 at 750oC. Power density of the single cell with YSB-Ag cathode was about 535 mW/cm2 at 750oC, while that with LSM-Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 cathode was only 329 mW/cm2.
