Abstract

Solid oxide fuel cells are solid-state ceramic cells, operating at a high temperature and recently been discovered one of the most efficient power generation devices causing no environmental pollution. In this paper, kinetic analysis study typical solid oxide fuel cell reactions has been done particularly methane steam reforming, water gas shift and electrochemical cell reactions on the active three phase boundaries of highly porous Ni-YSZ anode of an anode supported tubular solid oxide fuel cell. The reforming and water gas shift reactions occur in the gas phase due to the high temperature predominant in the solid oxide fuel cell leading to the production of hydrogen, CO and CO₂. The hydrogen produced acts as a fuel for the solid oxide fuel cell reacts with O^2- ions at triple phase boundary forming water (steam) and DC current due to conventional electron flow from anode to cathode of solid oxide fuel cell. The variation of Gibb’s free energy, equilibrium constant and rate of reactions has been represented and analyzed.
