Abstract
Protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) operating at an intermediate temperature range (400–600 °C) show high performance due to high proton conductivity in the electrolyte. Especially, because the water steam is generated at the oxygen side, so there is less dilution effect on fuel. Therefore, one of the main merits of PCFCs is that it can operate with extremely high fuel utilization. Furthermore, a higher fuel humidification rate leads to higher proton conductivity. However, under relatively high steam partial pressure, the concentration overpotential effect on cell performance may become non-negligible. In the present study, the performance of PCFC under several fuel humidification conditions is investigated by considering the influence of concentration overpotential by numerical analysis.
