The study introduces a novel SOFC model with an eccentric conical groove anode, boosting power density by 44.09%. By optimizing geometric parameters, the thermal gradient is slowed down while current density is increased, leading to improved electrochemical reactions and heat dissipation. Gas flow acceleration into the electrolyte enhances cell power significantly. Although the introduction of grooves amplifies local temperature gradients, parameter adjustments can reduce this effect and disrupt the thermal boundary layer thickness. SOFCs are highlighted for their eco-friendly energy conversion and broad fuel flexibility, with a focus on enhancing efficiency and reducing temperature variations for commercialization. Researchers have proposed various thermal management strategies to mitigate temperature gradients and improve SOFC performance. Advanced thermal management remains crucial for SOFCs despite challenges in thermal stress and temperature uniformity.
