Current-voltage (I-V) and anodic polarization characteristics were measured for the H{sub 2}-fueled solid oxide fuel cell with an 8 mole percent yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte and Ni-YSZ anode. For a H{sub 2}-rich H{sub 2}-H{sub 2}O system, the I-V curve was characterized by a high open-circuit voltage and significant concave bending in the small current density region. For an extremely dilute fuel condition, the curve started from a straight decrease of the voltage followed by a sharp voltage drop due to limiting current. Significant contribution of concentration overvoltage was suggested in determining the shape of the I-V curve from the calculated equilibrium P{sub O{sub 2}} in the fuel systems. The experimentally obtained anodic polarization curve could be fitted to the calculated curve based on the concentration difference across the Ni-YSZ anode layer. The effective diffusion coefficient, D{sub eff}, of the Ni-YSZ cermet which affects the anodic polarization, is estimated to be 10{sup {minus}2} to 10{sup {minus}1} cm{sup 2}/s. The electrode polarization conductivity, was maximum at P{sub O{sub 2}} = ca. 10{sup {minus}8} Pa, and decreased with increasing or decreasing P{sub O{sub 2}}. This behavior could be explained by considering the concentration over-voltage based on the relation between log P{sub O{sub 2}}more » and the fractional concentration of H{sub 2}.« less
