Using the classical Monte Carlo method and density functional theory(DFT) calculations,various stable adsorption configurations for the Ni/yttria-stabilized zirconia anode(Ni/YSZ) were predicted.Compared with previously reported results, more stable triple phase boundary structures were found.Based on these optimized configurations, charge transfer is discussed in detail, as O ion migration occurs where electron transfer from YSZ to Ni is important in describing the electrochemical reaction at the anodes of...

1 Introduction Solid-oxide fuel cells(SOFCs)1,2have emerged as one of thepromising technologies for efficient electrochemical energyconversion because a wide variety of hydrocarbon fuels can beused.The anode is an important constituent part of the SOFCand
