[Display omitted] ► Lower carrier gas flow rates enhanced the cell performance of carbon-based solid oxide fuel cells (C-SOFCs) by increasing the extent of electrochemical oxidation of CO due to the long residence time of CO. ► The power generation from C-SOFCs can be further increased by increasing...
