Download or read book Microstructural Characterisation, Modelling and Simulation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Cathodes written by Joos, Jochen and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work deals with microstructural characterisation, modelling and simulation of SOFC electrodes with the goal of optimizing the electrode microstructures. Methods for a detailed electrode analysis based on focused ion beam (FIB) tomography are presented. A 3D FEM model able to perform simulations of LSCF cathodes based on 3D tomography data is shown. A model generating realistic, yet synthetic microstructures is presented that enables the optimization of microstructural characteristics.
