Abstract

In order to address Solid oxide fuel cells(SOFC) the issues of uneven gas distribution and low fuel utilization rate in conventional straight-channel. In this research, a connected cable-type channel with enhanced connectivity and broader radiation coverage was developed. The research revealed that in a singular flow channel scenario, the distribution of oxygen on the electrode within the connected cable-type channel exhibited greater uniformity compared to the conventional straight-channel design. The gas utilization rate is increased by 2.38% compared with the conventional straight-channel, and the output power density is increased by 8.55%. In the flow field, it is observed that the gas distribution on the cathode side of connected cable-type channel is significantly superior to that of the conventional straight-channel. In the case of a parallel flow field, the output power of the connected cable channel increases by 8.39% compared to the conventional straight channel, while the serpentine channel shows an increase of 11.65% in output power. Then, the impact of the flow field combination on the flow field was investigated. It was discovered that the output power of the cell could reach up to 5158.17 W/m2 when the serpentine-parallel staggered flow field distribution structure was utilized. This output was 11.33% higher than that of the parallel flow field.
