Modelling Internal Reforming Solid Oxide Fuel Cells with Surface Chemistry to Find Regions Susceptible to Carbon Deposition

The lifespan of internal reforming solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is not yet sufficient. Among other design challenges, this is due to detrimental carbon deposition formations. This must be mitigated, without compromising the power output and efficiency of the fuel cell for it to become a commercial viable product. The carbon that is deposited...
