The operational strategy for a solid oxide fuel cell undergoing degradation is investigated in this paper. While the perfect fuel cell would undergo no degradation, practical fuel cells of any type (e.g., polymer electrolyte, etc.), like batteries, will degrade. For fuel cells, dominant mechanisms of degradation will…
