Prediction method of electrochemical and mechanical performances in sofc cold and hot cycle

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a prediction method of electrochemical and mechanical performances of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) in a cold-hot cycle, and belongs to the technical field of SOFCs. In the present disclosure, a cold-hot cycle test is performed on SOFC pile, a polarization curve and an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are measured by an electrochemical workstation, and contributions of different electrode reaction processes to voltage attenuation are analyzed quantitatively; the mechanical performance (bending strength, elastic modulus and hardness) after different numbers of cold-hot cycle services is tested, and based on change of Ni particles, the electrochemical performance and the mechanical performance of the SOFC pile are quantitatively associated; an attenuation coupling relationship of the electrochemical performance and the mechanical performance of the SOFC pile is disclosed and an attenuation theory model of the electrochemical performance and the mechanical performance of the SOFC pile is built. In this way, a change law of the electrochemical performance and the mechanical performance of the SOFC pile after different numbers of cold-hot cycles and a cold-hot cycle service life of the SOFC pile can be accurately predicted, which is of great significance to improve the thermal shock resistance of the cold-hot cycles of the SOFC pile, so as to promote SOFC commercialization applications.
