A damage model for degradation in the electrodes of solid oxide fuel cells: Modeling the effects of sulfur and antimony in the anode

► A variety of degradation mechanisms exist that affect electrochemical devices. ► Classifying degradation by effects on electrodes can help in understanding them. ► A local model of sulfur in the anode can predict SOFC performance loss. ► Modeling Ni removal due to antimony shows trends seen in experiments.
