These uncertainties include the number of electric vehicles that will be connected to the grid at any given time, the amount of energy that will be stored in their batteries during both the daytime and overnight, and the impact that their charging profiles will have on the overall load placed on the power system.

The cathode in a solid oxide fuel cell is responsible for reduction of oxygen molecules to oxygen ions, which then migrate through the electrolyte to the anode. The thermophysical properties of the cathode material play a crucial role for the performance and efficiency of the fuel cell. So, creation of the cathodes of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) requires taking into account the thermal and chemical stability, as well as analysis of the main characteristics of the cathodes, such as the electrocatalyst activity, electrical conductivity, and mechanical strength. This article presents a review of scientific literature on the qualitative characteristics of SOFC cathodes made of various alloys, as well as their operation parameters. In the review, results of functioning of such cathodes are compared in view of possible improvement of their performance parameters in dependence on the composition of the materials used. The composition and microstructure of cathode materials have a great influence on the characteristics of SOFCs. A rational composition of materials is ensured by controlled oxygen non-stoichiometry, and some aspects of defects can improve the ionic and electronic conductivity, as well as catalytic properties for the oxygen reduction in the cathode.</p>","PeriodicalId":627,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Thermophysics","volume":"32 4","pages":"728 - 735"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139015514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vertical microchannel is made of two parallel porous and slippy plates. The hot fluid is injected from the left side and succeeded from the right side. Fluid flow within the channel is induced due to an applied favorable/adverse pressure gradient (due to Couette–Poiseuille flow), right plate movement, buoyancy force due to the temperature difference of the channel plates in the presence of heat generation/absorption inside the channel and subjected to a constant applied transverse magnetic field. The resulting governing equations are solved numerically by the shooting method. The conventional fluids are chosen as water, and ethylene glycol-water mixture. The nanoparticles are selected as Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and CuO. Nanofluids modeling, which takes care of base fluid temperature, Brownian motion, diameter and concentration of nano particles, and base fluid physical properties are considered here. Roles of pressure gradient P (at the inlet), temperature of base fluids, heat generation/absorption, the density of the nanoparticle volume fraction on flow and heat transfer characteristics (velocity and temperature distribution, Nusselt number (Nu) distribution, entropy generation and Bejan Number) are investigated here. How the sequence of appearance of curves of flow and heat transfer characteristics (due to variation of aforesaid parameters) are disturbed by the presence of injection/suction, radiation and convective boundary condition is discussed here.
