“…Fuel cells are an innovative technology with reduced harmful emissions and are a safer alternative because only heat and water are emitted as by-products. Generally, hydrogen is used as fuel in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) to generate power [1]. Power density is one of the measurable fuel cell performance indicators that is controlled by the fuel cell's current and voltage.…”

Theoretical studies using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling have been established in the field of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and oxygen ion solid oxide fuel cells (O2-SOFCs). However, its implementation in the proton ceramic fuel cell (PCFC) development is still in progress and very limited literature can be found. Thus, in this simulation study, ANSYS 2022 CFD software has been employed to predict hydrogen mass fraction distribution and power density of a single-channel PCFC operating in 100 % hydrogen fuel. This simulation utilized input data based on previously published experimental works. The mass fraction of H2 was 0.0 at the cathode area indicating that the electrolyte layer is fully dense and no leakage of H2 from the anode area into the cathode area. The maximum power density in 100 % H2 was 0.34 W/cm2 at 800° C. This is in agreement with the power density produced by the in-house fabricated button cell with the configuration of NiO-BCZY|BCZY|LSCF (BCZY=BaCe0.54Zr0.36Y0.1O2.95, LSCF=La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ.) that showed a maximum power density of 0.33W/cm2 in 100 % H2. This analysis will contribute to insight information on the relationship between fuel mass fraction distribution and fuel cell performance for future improvements in the field of PCFC.

“…With the continuous depletion of nonrenewable resources and deterioration of the environment, countries all over the world are accelerating the pace of their energy structure reform [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Leading the innovation and application of high efficiency and clean energy are hydrogen, geothermal, wind, and solar energy [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The fuel cell (FC) is also a member of the renewable energy family.…”

“…It has a simple working principle, high efficiency, and fewer disadvantages than other clean energy sources. Thus FC has attracted a lot of global attention [13,14]. Compared with traditional power generation methods, the FC does not require a thermal engine process and is not restricted by the Carnot cycle, and therefore has higher energy conversion efficiency.…”

Hydrogen energy is a promising renewable resource for the sustainable development of society. As a key member of the fuel cell (FC) family, the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has attracted a lot of attention because of characteristics such as having various sources as fuel and high energy conversion efficiency, and being pollution-free. SOFC is a highly coupled, nonlinear, and multivariable complex system, and thus it is very important to design an appropriate control strategy for an SOFC system to ensure its safe, reliable, and efficient operation. This paper undertakes a comprehensive review and detailed summary of the state-of-the-art control approaches of SOFC. These approaches are divided into eight categories of control: proportional integral differential (PID), adaptive (APC), robust, model predictive (MPC), fuzzy logic (FLC), fault-tolerant (FTC), intelligent and observer-based. The SOFC control approaches are carefully evaluated in terms of objective, design, application/scenario, robustness, complexity, and accuracy. Finally, five perspectives are proposed for future research directions.

“…Thanks to their high electrical efficiency, low noise and low emissions of pollutants, Fuel Cells (FCs) are expected to play a crucial role in achieving the European Commission (EC) goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, contributing to the reduction of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions [2,3]. Compared with other FCs, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) displayed 60-80% higher conversion efficiency and longer durability [4]. SOFCs and solid oxide electrolyser cells (SOECs) are jointly referred to as solid oxide cells (SOCs).…”

Analysis of Lanthanum and Cobalt Leaching Aimed at Effective Recycling Strategies of Solid Oxide Cells

Lanthanum and cobalt are Critical Raw Materials and components of Solid Oxide Cells—SOCs electrodes. This review analyses lanthanum and cobalt leaching from waste materials (e-waste, batteries, spent catalysts), aiming to provide a starting point for SOC recycling, not yet investigated. The literature was surveyed with a specific interest for leaching, the first phase of hydrometallurgy recycling. Most references (86%) were published after 2012, with an interest higher (85%) for cobalt. Inorganic acids were the prevailing (>80%) leaching agents, particularly for lanthanum, while leaching processes using organic acids mostly involved cobalt. The experimental conditions adopted more diluted organic acids (median 0.55 M for lanthanum and 1.4 M for cobalt) compared to inorganic acids (median value 2 M for both metals). Organic acids required a higher solid to liquid ratio (200 g/L), compared to inorganic ones (100 g/L) to solubilize lanthanum, while the opposite happened for cobalt (20 vs. 50 g/L). The process temperature didn’t change considerably with the solvent (45–75 °C for lanthanum, and 75–88 °C for cobalt). The contact time was higher for lanthanum than for cobalt (median 3–4 h vs. 75–85 min). Specific recycling processes are crucial to support SOCs value chain in Europe, and this review can help define the existing challenges and future perspectives.
