Abstract
In this work, the anti-poisoning performance of flat-tube solid oxide fuel cells (FT-SOFCs) is investigated in high concentrations of H2S. The degradation rate of the cell is 0.52%/ h, 0.27%/ h and 0.305%/ h at 750 °C, when the concentration of H2S is 161 ppm, 182∼222 ppm and 226 ppm, respectively, and the performance can be restored by humidification of H2. The resistance to sulfur poisoning breaks through the limitation, proving the stability advantage of the flat-tube structure. Through energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and Raman spectrum analysis, it is found that the cell performance degradation under high concentration of H2S is mainly caused by the loss of metallic nickel caused by the migration and decomposition of nickel-sulfur compounds, which will reduce the active sites of H2 participating in the anode reaction. This study provides a reference for the application of flat-tube structure cells under high concentrations of H2S.
