Gas transport and internal-reforming chemistry in Ni-YSZ and ferritic-steel supports for solid-oxide fuel cells

► Separated Anode Experiment provides unique data on internal reforming processes. ► Gas transport and internal reforming evaluated for Ni-YSZ and metal supports. ► Computational results and experimental data compared. ► Metal support displayed no catalytic activity, motivating anode functional layer. ► Design of anode functional layer for metal support demonstrated using model.
