Description

Solid oxide fuel cell electrode gas transport Curvature factor Forecasting Methodology
Technical field
The invention belongs to fuel cell field, and in particular to a kind of solid oxide fuel cell electrode gas transport curvature Factor prediction method.
Background technology
Fuel cell has obtained countries in the world as the forth generation new-generation technology after water power, thermoelectricity, nuclear power Pay attention to.It is considered as a kind of fuel electricity of most market prospects as the SOFC of third generation fuel cell Pond.Since " eight or five ", " 95 ", " 15 ", Eleventh Five-Year Plan plan, China continuously subsidizes SOFC technology Research and development.National high-tech research plan (863 Program) and state key basic research development plan (973 plan) are also to solid oxygen Compound fuel cell is subsidized for many years.Although SOFC technology has obtained fast development in recent years, but solid Research of the randomness, complexity, no regularity of oxide fuel cell electrode pore structure to its gas transport Curvature factor Stern challenge is proposed, hence it is imperative that a kind of learning gas transmission Curvature factor is simple, accurately and efficiently new square Method.
Solid oxide fuel cell electrode is loose structure, when battery works, fuel gas from electrode surface along Reaction is participated in the triple line region that pore structure is transferred to electrolyte annex, and reaction product then need to be transferred to electricity along pore structure Then pole surface is discharged.Because the randomness, complexity, no regularity of electrode pore structure cause gas transport path not Straight line, but it is very tortuous.In order to characterize the tortuous of gas path, parameter-curvature (τ) is defined.Curvature passes for gas The ratio of defeated actual path length and air line distance, Curvature factor (τ2) be curvature square.Curvature gets over the actual road of atmospheric Footpath is longer, and the concentration polarization of battery is bigger.Therefore electrode curvature factor pair optimized contact scheme is reduced, the raising of battery performance is non- It is often necessary.
At present, the method for obtaining the electrode curvature factor mainly has experimental method and spheric granules free accumulation method.Experimental method is Utilize the technologies such as SEM (SEM), synchronous X-ray nanometer tomographic, Focused Ion Beam tomoscan (FIB) Two-dimentional tomoscan is carried out to electrode sample, then two-dimentional tomography picture is synthesized to the electrode structure of solid again.Though experimental method So can be true and careful reconstruct the pore structure of electrode, but exist it is costly, rely on a large amount of high-end devices, structure Quality depends critically upon the resolution ratio of image and the reprocessing analysis of data, time-consuming (needs to scan hundreds and thousands of pictures, picture Post processing it is also very complicated) the shortcomings of.To overcome the disadvantage of above-mentioned experimental method, propose to build using spheric granules free accumulation method Electrode structure is to study its property, and spheric granules free accumulation method is once by a spheric granules above cuboid container Random site falls, and when this particle is contacted with container bottom or is contacted with other three or more than three particles, particle reaches Equilbrium position, the position of particle is fixed, then another spheric granules of free-falling again, and substantial amounts of spheric granules is piled into electrode Model.This method is although fairly simple, quick, but there are following three major issues:(1) the maximum pore rate of electrode model is 0.45, therefore the situation that porosity is more than 0.45 can not be calculated;(2) because Part-spherical particle is apart from closer, but do not have again There is contact, cause the electrode model mesh generation difficulty that spheric granules is built than larger, or even mesh generation can not be completed;(3) The Curvature factor that the electrode model built using spheric granules is calculated deviation ratio compared with experiment value is larger.

Embodiment
With 15 × 15 × 15 equivalent volume unit, (through research, the length of side of sample X, Y and Z-direction is at least the present embodiment During 15 units, the requirement of equivalent volume unit is just met) exemplified by, calculate the Curvature factor τ that porosity is ε=0.2~0.52, And the correctness of the present invention is verified compared with experiment value.
Solid oxide fuel cell electrode gas transport Curvature factor Forecasting Methodology specific implementation of the present invention is such as Under:
With porosity ε=0.3, exemplified by the calculating of Z-direction Curvature factor:
The first step:Build the equivalent volume unit of electrode
Solid oxide fuel cell electrode is made up of solid portion and aperture sections, and solid portion and aperture sections Distribution there is randomness.Electrode can be thus equivalent to by solid small cubes and the random accumulation of hole small cubes Into.Microscopic dimensions due to electrode size much larger than hole or solid portion, so only needing to be piled into using small cubes The equivalent volume unit of electrode.First do not consider hole in the case of, with small cubes dense packing into 15 × 15 × 15 it is equivalent Elementary volume, volume element, has 3375 (N) individual small cubes, as shown in Figure 1 altogether.
Second step:It is randomly assigned the physical property of small cubes
The randomness being distributed according to solid portion in electrode and aperture sections, according to the requirement of porosity ε=0.3, by [ε * N=0.3*3375]=1013 small cubes are assigned to the physical property of hole, and the diffusion coefficient of gas wherein is intrinsic diffusion coefficient D.Due to consideration that the Curvature factor of electrode is unrelated with the transport mechanism of gas, thus the concrete numerical value also with D is unrelated, for letter D is set to 1 for the sake of list.Remaining 3375-1013=2362 small cubes are assigned to the physical property of solid, i.e. gas to be passed through, As shown in Fig. 2 wherein the small cubes of grey are hole, white small cubes are solid.
3rd step:Based on finite element method, loading equation, mesh generation and border are carried out to equivalent elementary volume, volume element are set, Calculate effective diffusion cofficient Deff, as shown in Figure 3.
Due to consideration that the Curvature factor of electrode is unrelated with the transport mechanism of gas, determine so have chosen simplest Fick The transmission of rule description gas.The transmission equation of gas in the electrodes is:
▽ J=▽ (- D ▽ c)
J is the flow of gas in formula, and D is the intrinsic diffusion coefficient of gas,cFor gas concentration.
The concentration of gas is set in the upper surface of equivalent volume unit as cup(1mol/m3), set the dense of gas in its lower surface Spend for cdown(0mol/m3), it is zero that other borders, which are set to normal direction gas flow,.
Because electrode is formed by small cubes accumulation, therefore without especially narrow region, mesh generation is easier.It is first Structured grid division first is carried out to a small cubes, then using copy function, the mesh generation of other small cubes is completed. As a result it is as shown in Figure 3.
The above-mentioned differential equation is solved using finite element method, Gas concentration distribution is obtained as shown in Figure 4.J pairs The upper surface of equivalent volume unit is integrated acquisition total gas flow rate Jtotal.Based on effective media theory, and then obtain porous The effective diffusion cofficient D of electrodeeff
Wherein L is the length of the equivalent volume unit in gas transport direction, and A is the equivalent vertical with gas transport direction The cross-sectional area of product unit.
4th step:Calculate the Curvature factor of gas transport
Based on capillary model, by strict theory deduction, the relation of effective diffusion cofficient and intrinsic diffusion coefficient is obtained For:
As long as with porosity ε divided by effective diffusion cofficient DeffWith intrinsic diffusion coefficient D ratio, you can easily ask Go out Curvature factor τ2
Utilize same method calculating X, the Curvature factor τ of Y-direction2, while song when can also calculate other porositys Rate factor τ2
As shown in figure 5, compared for the Curvature factor τ that present invention during different porosities is calculated2And experimental measurements, demonstrate The accuracy of the inventive method.
