Cell interconnect

An electrochemical vapor deposition (EVD) technique has been developed that produces thin layers of refractory oxides that are suitable for the electrolyte and cell interconnection in SOFCs (9). In this technique, the appropriate metal chloride (MeCl ) vapor is introduced on one side of a porous support tube, and H2/H2O gas is introduced on the other side. The gas environments on both sides of the support tube act to form two galvanic couples, ie.

A configuration for electrically connecting tubular cells to form a stack is described in Section 8.1.2 under sealless tubular configuration (Figure 8-6). The cells are connected in a series-parallel array by nickel felt strips that are exposed to the reducing fuel gas. In this arrangement, the nickel felt strips and cell interconnections extend the length of the cell. 

The voltage losses in SOFCs are governed by ohmic losses in the cell components. The contribution to ohmic polarization (iR) in a tubular cell" is 45% from cathode, 18% from the anode, 12% from the electrolyte, and 25% from the interconnect, when these components have thickness (mm) of 2.2, 0.1, 0.04 and 0.085, respectively, and specific resistivities (ohm cm) at 1000°C of 0.013, 3 X 10, 10, and 1, respectively. The cathode iR dominates the total ohmic loss despite the higher specific resistivities of the electrolyte and cell interconnection because of the short conduction path through these components and the long current path in the plane of the cathode. 

Unicellular (closed cell, discrete unit cells) and multicellular (open cells, interconnecting cells) foams are made through the chemical and physical introduction of gasses. 

My cryonicist friends refuse to give up hope that memories still reside in the brain cell interconnections and chemistry, much of which can be preserved. Maybe they are right. After all, far back in the 1950s, hamster brains were partially frozen and revived by British researcher Audrey Smith. If hamster brains can function after being frozen, why can t ours In the 1960s, Japanese researcher Isamu Suda froze cat brains for a month and then thawed them. Some brain activity persisted. ...

The only dynamic phenomena of interest within the solid materials of an SOFC (cell, interconnects, end plates, etc.) is thermal energy transport. Here, the same formulation used for the gas-phase, Equation (9.10), can be used, except that here the velocity, V, is zero. While the solid body components do not show chemical reactions, Ri, there is internal heat generation through electrical ohmic losses. Hence, the model equation is ... 

The results for a 55 amp load change are shown in Figures 9.10 and 9.11. Figure 9.10 shows the temperature histories for the cell, interconnect, anode exit gas and cathode exit gas. As can be seen the thermal conditions reach their new equilibrium by approximately / = 800 s, resulting in an exponential time constant of r = 266 s. The temperature change for the gas stream is about 150°C. A calculation of the thermal time constant based on the fully lumped model (Equation (9.28) shows...

Specifically speaking, membrane conductivity represents only the membrane s resistance to flow of protons (H+) and is highly dependant on its thickness (cp) and water content. Electrical resistance of electrodes, cell interconnects, and the formation of any insulating layer on the electrode surface are all bundled under the conductivity term. Voltage decreases for a given current as temperature increases and can be controlled to improve stack efficiency.
