Behaviour of Anodes Under Current Loading

Here the water molecule adsorbed on a zirconia surface oxygen vacancy, for example, dissociated reversibly into an oxygen ion occupying the vacancy, plus two interstitial or adsorbed hydrogen ions. The solubility of hydrogen interstitially into zirconia is low, 2 x 10 moles of water equivalent per mole 

Optimisation of supporting anodes in advanced fuel cell designs to incorporate thermal control and chemical functionality into that zone, which is otherwise merely mechanical and structural, will depend on the further experimental validation of the reaction mechanisms, interpreted with the new mathematical
