Abstract

Recent results on solid oxide fuel cells with Ni/YSZ and Ni/GDC anodes reveal a mechanism for permanent performance degradation due to hydrogen sulfide exposure. Our results confirm the temporary performance decline observed by others but also reveal a mechanism for the long term permanent degradation. We find that hydrogen sulfide leads to nickel migration and depletion in the anode, thereby compromising electrical conductivity and cell performance.
