Background
A fuel cell is a highly efficient energy conversion device that can directly convert chemical energy stored in a combustible gas into electrical energy, and has higher energy conversion efficiency because it does not require intermediate conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy. In order to increase the Fuel utilization rate of the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, a Fuel circulation pump is industrially added in a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell system, a tail gas part at a Fuel outlet of a stack is circulated to an inlet end of a Fuel flow guide, and usually about 60 to 80% of the Fuel tail gas is circulated to the Fuel inlet, so that the Fuel utilization rate in the stack can be controlled to be 50 to 70%, a large amount of unconsumed Fuel still exists near a support body at the outlet part of a Fuel flow channel of the stack, so that the diffusion of the Fuel in the support body and a functional layer can be increased, and the oxidation of nickel metal in the support body at the outlet of the flow channel is also inhibited by a large amount of Fuel. However, the addition of a fuel circulation pump to a solid oxide fuel cell system increases the utilization rate of the solid oxide fuel cell, and also increases the complexity of the system, the fuel circulation pump operates at high temperature, and hydrogen and water vapor in the fuel easily corrode the circulation pump blades and bearings, thereby causing fuel leakage, and the use of the circulation pump increases the maintenance cost of the system when the system operates for a long time.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
SOFC is a high temperature fuel cell, and its fuel source is wide due to high temperature operation environment, for example, SOFC can use carbon fuel such as methane, gasoline, diesel oil, etc. to generate electricity. The fuel electrode (anode) of the solid oxide fuel cell consists of porous nickel metal and zirconia (Ni-ZrO2), wherein the anode support cell/stack is made of the same support material as the anode material, which is a mixture of nickel metal and zirconia (Ni-ZrO2), the support thickness is about 500 to 1500 microns, the anode functional layer with thickness of 5 to 50 microns is between the support and the electrolyte, the electrolyte thickness is 2 to 30 microns, and then the air electrode (cathode) is painted and sintered on the other side of the electrolyte.
In the electrochemical reaction process of the fuel electrode, fuel is firstly diffused into a porous support body of the cell, then the fuel is further diffused into an anode functional layer to carry out the electrochemical reaction, and the gas needs to be diffused in two steps before reaching the chemical reaction. During operation of the cell or stack, the upstream portion of the fuel inlet typically contains more fuel and has a higher partial pressure during diffusion to the reaction surface; in the downstream part of the fuel outlet, a large amount of fuel is consumed by the cell, the generated large amount of water vapor reduces the diffusion partial pressure of the fuel in the support body and the anode functional layer, and the diffusion rate of the fuel from the porous support body with the thickness of 500 to 1500 microns to the anode functional layer is greatly reduced, so that the chemical reaction of the anode is influenced. Accordingly, in the actual industrial application process, excessive fuel is generally introduced to ensure the fuel diffusivity at the downstream of the fuel flow channel, so that the overall fuel utilization rate of the stack is low.
In addition, under the high temperature conditions of the solid oxide fuel cell, the heat generated by the chemical reaction is carried downstream of the flow channel by the fuel fluid, generally the higher reaction temperature is in the downstream of the fuel flow, the water vapor has stronger oxidizing property at high temperature, and the nickel metal (Ni) inside the support is thus very easily oxidized into nickel oxide (NiO), which is agglomerated and has a volume of about 60%. It should be noted that under high fuel utilization conditions, the support body of the anode-supported cell is susceptible to expansion cracking downstream of the fuel flow channels, resulting in failure of the anode functional layer and electrolyte layer on its surface by cracking.
The solid oxide fuel cell has another cell structure, the electrolyte is thicker and the thickness is about 100 to 300 microns, the electrodes are respectively coated and sintered on two sides of the electrolyte, the cell is called an electrolyte-supported solid oxide fuel cell, the single cell of the cell mainly provides mechanical strength by the thicker electrolyte, the thickness of the fuel electrode (anode) and the thickness of the air electrode (cathode) are only 5 to 30 microns, the fuel only needs to diffuse once to reach a reaction interface in the chemical reaction process of the fuel, and meanwhile, the attenuation change of the electrode structure does not cause the fracture failure of the supporting electrolyte.
The applicant researches and discovers that the advantages of two fuel cells can be combined in practical engineering application, the fuel is consumed in a grading way, the fuel utilization rate of the stack module is integrally improved, and the power generation efficiency of the solid oxide fuel cell system is improved. In view of this, and with reference to fig. 1, the present application provides a solid oxide fuel cell having stack gas paths comprising:
an electrolyte-supported solid oxide fuel cell stack 100 (electrolyte-supported stack) and an anode-supported stack-type solid oxide fuel cell stack 200 (anode-supported stack);
wherein the electrolyte-supported solid oxide fuel cell stack 100 is disposed at a fuel stream outlet end of the solid oxide fuel cell;
the anode-supported stack type solid oxide fuel cell stack 200 is disposed at a fuel stream inlet end of the solid oxide fuel cell.
Because the electrolyte-supported solid oxide fuel cell stack 100 mainly provides mechanical strength by a thicker electrolyte, and the thickness of a fuel electrode (anode) and an air electrode (cathode) is only 5 to 30 micrometers, in the chemical reaction process of the fuel, the fuel can reach a reaction interface only by once diffusion, and meanwhile, the attenuation change of an electrode structure can not cause the rupture failure of the supported electrolyte, therefore, according to the fuel electrode structure advantages of the electrolyte-supported solid oxide fuel cell stack, the fuel utilization rate and the electric efficiency of a stack group can be improved by using the fuel at the tail end consumed by the electrolyte-supported solid oxide fuel cell stack, and the electrolyte-supported solid oxide fuel cell stack 100 can not cause the rupture failure of the supported electrolyte, the anode-supported solid oxide fuel cell stack 200 is arranged in the low-temperature region of the fuel inlet of the solid oxide fuel cell, in the technical scheme disclosed by the application, the electrolyte supporting type solid oxide fuel cell stack is arranged at the fuel flow outlet end of the solid oxide fuel cell so as to improve the working efficiency of the solid oxide fuel cell, a circulating pump does not need to be added in the solid oxide fuel cell system, the maintenance frequency of the system is reduced, and the maintenance cost of the solid oxide fuel cell is further reduced.
