Comparison of electrochemical impedance spectra for electrolyte-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs)

Abstract Protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) are expected to achieve high power generation efficiency at intermediate temperature around 400–600 °C. In the present work, the distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis was investigated in order to deconvolute the anode and cathode polarization re...
