Elucidating Conductivity and Nitriding Resiliency in (Al/H)-ZnO Coatings for NH3-Fueled SOFC Separators via SEM-EDX and MLP-DFT Protocols NH3 fuel-based SOFCs can overcome the inefficiencies of other hydrogen sources, but NH3 deteriorates solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) separators by nitriding. Here, experimental and computational approaches are used to investigate aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) as a SOFC separator coating candidate for nitriding mitigation.

3D printing technique offers lightweight, compact and flexible thermal components that can be integrated into bendable and curved form factors. However, their low thermal conductivity of the polymer-based backbone structures degrades thermal performances, thereby demanding the rational solution to compensate heat transfer rates.
