The concentration gradient of fuel and oxidant gas is great in the plane normal to the solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) three-phase-boundary (TPB) layer, especially in the porous electrode. We present a novel interconnector design, termed bilayer interconnector, for SOFC. It can distribute the fuel and air gas in the plane normal to the SOFC TPB layer. In this paper, we develop a 3D model to study the current density of the SOFC with conventional and novel bi-layer interconnectors. The numerical results show that the novel SOFC design Rib1 can slightly enhance the mass transfer in the porous anode and current density. The novel SOFC design Rib2 can improve the current density significantly under low electrical conductivity of interconnector.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are a highly efficient chemical to electrical energy conversion devices that have potential in a global energy strategy. The wide adoption of SOFCs is currently limited by cost and concerns about cell durability. Improved understanding of their degradation modes and mechanisms combined with reduction–oxidation stable anodes via all-ceramic-anode cell technology are expected to lead to durability improvements, while economies of scale for production will mitigate cost of commercialization. This paper presents an Ishikawa analysis and a failure modes, mechanisms, effects, and criticality analysis (FMMECA) for all-ceramic anode based SOFCs. FMMECA takes into account the life cycle conditions, multiple failure mechanisms, and their potential effects on fuel-cell health and safety.
