An electrochemical reduced order model (ROM) has been developed in this study to simulate the performance of syngas-fueled anode-supported SOFCs with coupled bulk chemical reactions and multi-species gas diffusion in the electrodes. Experimental V-I curves with syngas fuel were used to validate the model to ensure its high fidelity. The model was used to investigate the effects of fuel composition and temperature on the electrochemical performance of the cell, chemical reaction rate and concentration distributions of gaseous species across the anode. The results show that H2 electro-oxidation dominates the overall cell performance, and that CO contributes to the performance …
