โฆ Synopsis
A mathematical model to calculate the volume specific three-phase boundary length in the porous composite electrodes of solid-oxide fuel cell is presented. The model is exclusively based on geometrical considerations accounting for porosity, particle diameter, particle size distribution, and solids phase distribution. Results are presented for uniform particle size distribution as well as for non-uniform particle size distribution.

Coarsening of the nickel phase is known to occur in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anodes consisting of Ni and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). However, the exact nature of the coarsening process is not known, nor how it affects three-phase boundaries (TPBs) and the resulting electrochemical performa
