As a potential candidate in the future energy storage system, Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are impeded by their insufficient discharge voltages and low charge-discharge efficiencies. Building the alkaline hybrid zinc batteries (AHZBs) combining ZAB and alkaline zinc/cobalt batteries (ZCB) at the...

In this study, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed for an anode-supported planar SOFC from the Chinese Academy of Science Ningbo Institute of Material Technology and Engineering (NIMTE). The simulation results of the developed model are in good agreement...

A finite volume method based computational fluid dynamics model has been developed and applied for a cathode-supported planar solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) operating in cross-flow configuration arrangement. The performance behavior, in terms of current density, temperature distribution...

In this article, we outline and review the methods that are currently used to simulate the micro/meso-scale flow and reactive transport processes in the porous catalyst layers (CLs) of a fuel cell. The approaches beyond the atomic scale (molecular dynamics) and below the conventional continuum...

A literature study is performed to compile the state-of-the-art, as well as future potential, in SOFC modeling. Principles behind various transport processes such as mass, heat, momentum and charge as well as for electrochemical and internal reforming reactions are described. A deeper...
