Abstract

A mathematical model is developed to study the leakage current in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with a bi-layer electrolyte. The model predicts the variation of leakage current and power density with various design and operating factors of SOFC, namely thickness of the bi-layer electrolyte, operating temperature and operating cell voltage. The interfacial oxygen pressure in SOFC is also studied as a function of the thickness of YSZ layer. Modelling results are compared with experimental data and found to compare well.
