Chapters I to III introduce the reader to the general problems of fuel cells. The nature and role of the electrode material which acts as a solid electrocatalyst for a specific reaction is considered in chapters IV to VI. Mechanisms of the anodic oxidation of different fuels and of the reduction of molecular oxygen are discussed in chapters VII to XII for the low-temperature fuel cells and the strong influence of chemisorhed species or oxide layers on the electrode reaction is outlined. Processes in molten carbonate fuel cells and solid electrolyte fuel cells are covered in chapters XIII and XIV. The important properties of porous electrodes and structures and models used in the mathematical analysis of the operation of these electrodes are discussed in chapters XV and XVI.

In the development of molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs), many issues require mathematical models. Some of them, for example, the design of controllers and the integration of an MCFC stack in a larger plant system, can be solved with spatially lumped models. Other questions such as the analysis of an inhomogeneous current density profile or the optimal design and operation of a fuel cell with respect to temperature Hmitations, need spatially distributed models. Because the latter are usually the more complex models, this chapter is focused on these models.

The model of Wilemski and co-workers [2, 3,26] is one of the first molten carbonate fuel-cell electrode models. Together with the models of Jewulsld and Suski [28,34], they form the basis for the class of thin-film electrode models (Figure 28.4). The following general assumptions are made in thin-film models ...
