Abstract

High-temperature mechanical stress and creep affect solid oxide fuel cell structural integrity and performance, according to the review. Anode-supported solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stacks in extensive testing failed early, showed a lack of heat cycling tolerance, and changed electrochemical performance, perhaps owing to mechanical issues. To improve durability, monitor and test the SOFC stack's mechanical properties, especially during temperature variations. This study requires thermal stress modelling, simulation, and validation in cells and stacks. Simulation of SOFC stress and strain. The research examined SOFC fracture thermal stress intensity to determine structural durability. Thermo-mechanical properties of component materials were used to evaluate thermal stresses in planar solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) component failure may cause system failure. SOFCs may fail due to thermal stress from temperature and mechanical mismatches. Electrochemical processes require understanding the relationship between cell material mechanical properties and stress distribution. Tubular SOFC material creep affects cell transient functioning, making it vital to examine. The temperature distribution of a tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) under thermo-mechanical stress was predicted using a discretized space model that included thermal and electrochemical parameters. Mechanical stress and creep in high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells are examined in this study. This work addresses structural integrity and performance issues in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) to improve their durability and reliability.
