To improve the performance of molten carbonate fuel cells(MCFC)
single cells were tested by electrochemical impedance spectrum(EIS).Moreover
the ZSimpWin software was used for EIS fitting and analysis.The results show that
the performance of the membrane using water as the solvent was equivalent to that using n-butanol as the solvent.Compared to Ni electrode with steel support
the pure Ni electrode's performance has been improved
which was mainly due to the reduction in the charge transfer resistance of cathode and anode
and an increase in effective contacting area between the anode and electrolyte.When the single cell's area increased from 90cm2 to 225cm2
its Warburg impedance was increased by36%.Therefore
improving the transportation performance of the fuel and oxidizer is one of the key points in large cell area development.
