Abstract:
The Liquid Antimony Anode-based Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (LAA-SOFC) represents a promising energy conversion approach for generating power using complex fuels. This study addresses the relationship between the liquid- -liquid distribution of Sb-Sb2O3 2 O 3 and the corresponding electrochemical performance of LAA-SOFC. A 2-D axisymmetric model that incorporates the two-phase flow of Sb-Sb2O3, 2 O 3 , alongside the electric field and the chemical/electrochemical reactions is successfully developed to explore the reaction and convection characteristics of LAA in LAA-SOFC under gravitational influence. The model results indicate that the density disparity between Sb and Sb2O3 2 O 3 can drive convection and stratification with Sb2O3 2 O 3 generation fostering continuous convection within the anode. The high Peclet number suggests that the convection is the primary transport mechanism in the anode. The limited Sb2O3 2 O 3 reduction results in its accumulation in the upper layer, diminishing the effective reaction area and leading to a rapid decline in discharge voltage. However, the ionic conductivity of Sb2O3 2 O 3 at the Sb/Sb2O3 2 O 3 interface can facilitate approximately 10-20% of the reactions, marginally mitigating the increase in voltage loss. To offset Sb2O3 2 O 3 accumulation's impact on the electrochemical reactions, a horizontal tubular LAA-SOFC is designed and constructed, which can effectively sustain the discharge voltage across a broad Sb2O3 2 O 3 fraction range of 0-85%.
