More accurate macro-models of solid oxide fuel cells through electrochemical and microstructural parameter estimation - Part II: Parameter estimation

This paper presents a systematic synergetic approach between experimental measurements, equivalent circuit modelling (described in Part I) and macro-scale modelling theory which has proved to be instrumental for the estimation of microstructural and electrochemical features of a Ni-YSZ|YSZ|Pr2NiO4+δ - GDC solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). The aforementioned parameters have been used to generate a more accurate CFD macro-model which has been validated against the experimental results (presented in Part III).
